Symfony Doctrine: One to Many relationship is deleting parent entity - symfony

Question

I have parent and child entity. After all child entities are deleted, symfony delete my parent entity too. I don't like such behavior, parent entity must exist whenever there are some children or not. Here is my code for parent:
/**
* #OneToMany(targetEntity="Gallery", mappedBy="promotion", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
*/
private $galleries;
public function __construct() {
$this->galleries = new ArrayCollection();
}
public function getGalleries() {
return $this->galleries;
}
public function addGallery($gallery)
{
$gallery->setPromotion($this);
$this->galleries[] = $gallery;
return $this;
}
public function removeGallery($gallery)
{
$gallery->setPromotion(null);
$this->galleries->removeElement($gallery);
}
And here for child:
/**
* #ManyToOne(targetEntity="Promotion", inversedBy="galleries")
*/
private $promotion;
I don't know what to do, I have already spend hours on this.

Answer 1

Try to remove cascade annotation at all. The rest looks good.
