I think you hit it right there. Simon's love for River both overshadows all else, and is a direct reaction to the "stilted" lifestyle they live with their parents. I think their parents are very social conscious, and this ran their parenting from birth, with both, causing them to have a very tight relationship together.

I agree that the male child would have dominance in this instant, part of the issue, also, could be that River is so very genius, she intimidates the parents (or the father, in this case) and that has the dad leaning towards Simon over River.

In 'Safe' did Simon's parents know, or the very least have an idea of, what was happening to River? They seem to be very uncomfortable with her coming to visit. They ignore Simon when he suggests something is wrong. They just don't seem to care about their daughter very much. Why not? Did they agree or were they worried about losing their own standing or what? After all, they seem to care about Simon enough, so why not River?

There's an interesting fanfic that speculates on exactly those questions:
