Lenalee's parents are deeeeeeeeeeeead. They were killed by an akuma when she was a toddler.

Sakuya's parents ho boy. I WILL SPOILER TEXT ALL OF IT: [Sakuya's real father was a leatherworker in Japan, and his mother was a Japanese noble! Unfortunately she caught the eye of M. Le Bel, a French noble, and he had his father killed and dragged his mother to Japan to become his newest wife. HE HAS A LOT OF WIVES. Yuuya, Sakuya's full blood brother, came along for the ride. His mother laid Sakuya's egg (fathered by the murdered Sakazaki) while in France, and M. Le Bel immediately knocked her up again and she laid another egg. M. LE BEL WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE EGG HE DIDN'T FATHER and ordered her to smash it; Yuuya said he'd do it and smashed the egg he DID father instead, leaving Sakuya alive.

SO YES Sakuya's father tried to abort him, ended up aborting his own child instead because Yuuya happened, and now thinks Sakuya is his son and raises him as such. He "loves" him by which I mean he emotionally abuses him and indoctrinates him to completely set aside his own emotions and desires in the name of becoming a carbon copy of him to carry on the Le Bel family line.

His mother loves him and is a very sweet and kind woman who tells him very wrong things about Japan. It's lampshaded by Hiyoko that no one knows why she does this; she could genuinely believe all the bullshit she tells him, or she could be fucking with him deliberately, either for his own good or IN THE SADDEST CASE SCENARIO because she's bitter at his existence considering the events surrounding his birth. But no one wants that to be true :(]

It's all pretty terrible okay
