Jackson didn't think Lydia loved him and he didn't want to admit that he loved her. He thought she only wanted him for the social status. Not knowing his parents was a CONTRIBUTING FACTOR but that wasn't the reason he became the Kanima. It all came down to the fact that he wasn't loved. He didn't think his parents loved him and he didn't think Lydia loved him. He felt he wasn't good enough to be loved.

Plus, you probably didn't know that Jackson was supposed to die for real in the finale. He was supposed to die without resolving his problems, which was finding out who he was. However, the writers thought they should give Jackson a chance to redeem himself, changing his conflict to Lydia and love to fit the new plot.
