** Mel'arnach: Imprisoning her and having her beaten for disobeying, and it's also implied that she had her men rape her in an attempt to conceive an heir. [[spoiler:She also took Mel's child, Ariel, to raise as her own daughter]].
** Laelle'aell: No apparent abuse besides being raised TheSpartanWay, and she was actually considered the pride of the family until she was possessed by a demon, at which point she was discarded except for use as a mass killing machine.
** Kel'noz: No apparent abuse, but was witness to all of the above and admits that she's a terrible mother, also seems to be a ManipulativeBastard with his own agenda.
** Koil'dorath: No apparent abuse, but being and adult and one of the few people capable of having a chance of fighting back when she was adopted probably helped.
** Ariel: [[spoiler:Being taken away from Mel, her mother]] and handed over to Syphile to raise (unsurprisingly Syphile did a terrible job and gave Ariel much the same treatment she had received) and not seeing her for 10 years, rejecting her as a suitable heir until she killed a boy who had tried to kill her in a SadisticChoice between him and one of her few allies.
* Luna Travoria from ''DominicDeegan'' was emotionally abused by her mother in hopes that she would commit suicide while a knight was visiting, ensuring a hefty payout from the government.
* Marena from ''KeychainOfCreation'' had a mother with... interesting ideas on parenting. Marena [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0317.html a long list]] of things to forgive her for.
* [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Ryotaro Dojima]] in the ''{{Peachi}}'' comics comes off as one, in a type we cannot peg yet... but he's an [[ComedicSociopathy amusing raging psychopath of a father/uncle]]
-->''Hey, no need to be so formal. '''I've seen you NAKED'''''
* Kenta Fujiwara in ''RedString'' is a domneering force in his son's life, he has [[http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=964 called Kazuo useless]] on [[http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=3205 more that one occasion]], which has let deep scars on [[http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=968 Kazuo's pschye]]. He has also hit Kazuo [[http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=963 at least]] [[http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=2641 twice]]. Kazuo has been shown taking some sort of medication in some comics, which are widely believed to be self proscribed anti-depressents and [[spoiler: Kazuo uses them to [[http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=3258 attempt suicide]] at the end of Chapter 43]].
* ''ElGoonishShive'': Damien ended up making himself a sort of twisted father figure to Grace and her brothers, but there is nothing "fatherly" about him at all. He is an abuser pure and simple, able to control his "children" through fear and constantly hitting them whenever they displease him. And like any parent whose children are young enough, he's too powerful for them to do anything about it.
** Also, he intended to use Grace for breeding so he would have been a sexual abuser as well.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has a few variations on this theme; the most extreme is probably Vriska Serket's [[GiantSpider guardian]], which forces her to capture hundreds of other children to [[HorrorHunger feed it]], but others include Dave's [[ParentalSubstitute Bro]] (regularly beats the crap out of him and fills the apartment with creepy puppet porn) and Gamzee's lusus (just [[ParentalAbandonment never there]]). It's unclear whether Rose's mom is actually the master of PassiveAggressiveKombat that Rose makes her out to be or if she's honestly trying to connect with her, but either way she's [[TheAlcoholic perpetually drunk]] and on the negligent side.
** Later, someone managed to beat Vriska's lusus to the "Worst Parent of the Year" award: [[spoiler:Doc Scratch, in caring for [[TheWoobie Aradia]]'s ancestor the Handmaid. He keeps her locked in a tiny room, and when she gets out of line, he ''teleports her to outer space'']].
* Averted in [[TheUndead Rotting]] [[ProfessionalKiller Johnny's]] of ZokushoComics case. He apparently came from a fairly normal family.
