I understand the idea behind being resentful about one of your parents not being in your life, but in this instance it's the father's fault and not the mother's. There is absolutely no logic behind her blaming her two amazing, loving, caring mothers for her father's piss-poor parenting and selfishness.
The self-hatred is real.

Studies have shown the opposite, actually. Children who grow up with same-sex parents do not suffer in any way, shape, or form, nor do they have any sort of "imbalance". You feel this way because you're looking at it from the POV of someone who probably has opposite-sex parents, meaning that is normal to you. If you grow up with same-sex parents, your normal is not the same as someone with opposite-sex parents. If you grow up with same-sex parents, you don't feel the need to have opposite-sex parents because you have two loving same-sex parents who give you everything you need emotionally, mentally, and physically. You don't suffer from any sort of imbalance because no imbalance is present.
Your logic would actually make more sense for parents who split up or single parents. The imbalance would then be present because you only have one parent as opposed to two... but of course no one says anything about that.
