* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'': Izzy and Adelie's mother was a drug addict and possibly bipolar, and made their lives a living hell. Reflecting on their mother brings back flashback of death and horror, and it's all but said out loud several times that a lot of Izzy's depressive fugues are PTSD-induced flashbacks to their childhood.
-->'''Kirsty (Izzy's Clone)''': So what are our parents like?\\
'''Izzy''': We don't have parents. They're dead. In fact we NEVER had parents. We were formed from clay and brought to life by Zeus. FUCK OFF.

* ''WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': The Doctor's (ninja) parents have been putting their children through TrainingFromHell and endless tests that could kill them since they were little and up to the present day. They might justify this by saying a ninja has to stay extremely sharp and practiced if they're not to die. So what's their response to one of their children wanting some other profession than a ninja? Dogmatic, stereotypical parental intolerance that itself counts as BlackComedy. It's hard to say which has been more psychologically damaging to their sons, the violence training or the intolerance.

--->'''Sylas:''' Do you know what my dad said to me when he came home? NOTHING. He didn't say ''anything''! He wouldn't even ''look'' at me! I already know he'll never be proud of me but he acted like I don't ''exist''. Ugh! It'd be ''better'' if I didn't exist!

* ''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, though it's mostly [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood played for laughs]]) 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.
