I would suspect you had a reasonably fulfilling relationship with your father. One where you grew from childhood to adulthood with him in your life.
Lois did not have that. Sam only seems to have attempted to re-connect with Lois recently based on the series and the fanfiction generated here in these forums in her late twenties and pretty much botched that until she was probably 30. Lois never got to grow up with her father as he left when she was very young and she had to grow up and play mother to Lucy. Emotionally she never progressed past that time in relationship to Sam as she was physically growing up.
I certainly have no professional training so this is just my way of seeing the situation.
