I would imagine in most cases, the vampire mother would be fairly emotionally distant from her dhampir child. After all, the child's demonic energy weakens the mother both physically and mentally, so it's likely that the mother will start avoiding her at a young age (maybe without realising why). The dhampir would mostly be raised by her father. This would go some way in explaining the dhampir's pro human stance.

That said, I doubt that the mother would actively hate the child in most cases if only because I would wager that most vampires don't know much about dhampirs. This is partially do to how rare they would be, but also because of the nature of their conception. The birth of a dhampir means the vampire gave into her lust for her partner before he became an incubus. No normal self respecting vampire would admit to such a thing. The mother would do everything she could to keep the odd nature of the child a secret.

A vampire would likely only learn of a dhampir's tendency to "hunt" vampires after it is too late.
