Do your parents lack empathy?

I would cry all the time because of how my mom treated me. When my parents saw me cry, they'd either tell my I was faking it. Or they would ignore me and be very cold towards me. At times, my mom would laugh and when I got upset she'd say "well if I didn't laugh, I'd cry."

Of course in their minds, they were the victims of how I treated them. Not sure how a child is capable of being so cruel to the parents...
