I´m sure i already mentioned it somewhere in this thread but i´m sure that Shinichis life wasn´t easy at all too.
Being left behind by his parents and being supported by Agasa and Ran wasn´t all that great, every child wants to have their parents nearly. In Shinichis case he begins to avoid his parents and being rude them them whenever they appear. Something he earned by living alone, all alone in this huge house.
I think that Shinichi's life wasn't perfect,(nobody has a perfect life

)but it was an easy life compared to a 17years old boy!
and i don't believe that his parents left him behind and let him alone so easily!
his mother often calls him(vol 14)and she doesn't hesitate to go into Japan to see her Shin-chan!she's the kind of mother who really stuck to his son when she's with him!and she doesn't hide the fact that she miss him !(don't know which vol it was)
and don't forget that Shinichi's parents played a trick to their son just to make him realize that living alone in Tokyo was too dangerous(i don't remember the episode,sorry

)
they also asked him several times to go with them to USA !but he always refused,it was his choice!
Even if they're not physically with him,they still care alot about their son! he knows that he can count on his parents when he need them!(vol 42 when he needed yukiko's help to deguise himself as haibara)
i don't remember when they go to USA(when shinichi was 7 ,he was with his parent but after that i don't know),but he doesn't seem to have suffered a lot of this distance between him and his parents!
maybe he looks a bit rude,in a bad mood when they're with him,he always tease them (especially his mother), but this is the REAL shinichi!it's his manner to show his affection for them!
i remember ,once he was a bit angry against them for letting him alone in Japan(in vol 26 when he was dating Ran) but it was only to justify why he had the credit card of his father,(to not being seen as a spoiled child who has everithing he want ,in front of Ran

)
so i don't think he had a difficult life,even with the absence of his parents(cause they still care alot ,and worry about him )even with the lack of true friends because of his popularity(he always had Ran with him,or agasa,i think it's enough as true friends)!
i still believe that the only big problem he ever had was to have turned into Conan(which is also a chance cause usually,Gin kill his enemies with guns)
i think that a lot of people would like to have Shinichi's old life!(including me

)
