Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?

Because some parents shouldn’t ever have been parents.
It’s just that the kind of “love” she’s capable of just… isn’t enough.
She resents me for not being who she required me to be.
Would Donald Trump's reelection make the world more dangerous?
She never should have had kids. At all. She’s told me as much. (Back when we still spoke, some, she told me once she’d rather look at pictures of me as a kid, than try to have a relationship with me as an adult. Well. Fine. As you wish.)
It’s taken years, but I’m just… forced to accept that my parents were tall children, when they married, and they were utterly unprepared to be married, to have children, or really, much else.
My father died, years ago, but my mother is still around, and still resents the fact that I’m not heterosexually married, with 2.6 perfect children, fulfilling the fantasy life she’s certain “god told her” was the way my life was going to unfold.
What are mean nicknames to call my sister? She is always so mean to me.
We just… get the parents we get. Sometimes we get people who love their kids fiercely, who wanted them from the moment they were conceived… and sometimes, we don’t.
I have no doubt that she “loves” me, after a fashion. Sort of.
I’m not crying in my beer at the unfairness of all of this. Nobody ever promised me parents who’d actually love me, or who’d care to be in my life.
Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?
