You're probably right. I doubt SpecHarry received much love from his mother either, given how similar he turned out to 616 Harry.
Also, if Norman and Emily's relationship was like that of a business partnership, I'm assuming she wouldn't have been the type to approve of Norman's activities as the Green Goblin. Interestingly, this would have made SpecNorman even more of a dark mirror of Spider-Man than he already was, as both him and SpecPeter would eventually be in relationships with a partner that starts out with mixed feelings of their superhero/villain careers.
