It's the nature of the medium, unfortunately. Piling drama on top of drama makes for an exciting read but showing characters dealing with trauma is depressing and dull, so we get masses of the former and hardly any of the latter.
Even so, this is a particularly egregious case and I'd absolutely agree that making Hope a little more damaged and dangerous would have made her infinitely more interesting as a character, not to mention giving some actual weight to the mutant messiah/antichrist question that's still dangling over her head.
Now I kinda want to write an AU where she gets raised entirely by Deadpool and ends up just as awesomely insane as he is. >D
