Other people have already replied to your message about data
structures in lisp, but no one has made it clear that in the
mit-origin dialects doing what you want is probably as simple as
saying

(defstruct (node)
    left-child
    parent
    right-child)

and later
    (parent n) or (right-child n) or
    (setf (left-child n) x)
