* ''Webcomic/CirqueRoyale'':
** Aries Cashworthy. He treats his two children Diana and Leo terribly in public and private and has since they were children. They're not allowed to call him Dad or Father and must call him "[[TheyCallMeMisterTibbs Mr. Cashworthy]]." He neglected to give Leo any affection, pitted the two against each other, never gave Leo any compliments for his skills, and insulted Leo (and Quinn) both to his face and behind his back. He didn't care that Leo spent many nights as a child not coming home (and neither did his mother Gemma, TheAlcoholic). After Leo graduated from law school (which he didn't want to major in), Aries -- who was and is more than well off enough to pay for college -- billed him for his college which forced Leo to start working at Cashworthy Finances to pay back his student debt. He puts him in a choke hold in front of Quinn and Diana for giving money to the circus to support itself and tells Leo if he gave the circus any more money whatsoever, he'd cut him off. After Leo's near death and disabling back injury, Aries tripped him in public in front of Quinn to rile her up. Then, when Leo stood up for Quinn to him? Aries called him lazy, the cane he was gifted to get around trash, ''and'' insulted him for not keeping up his exercise regiment and diet [[spoiler:that's actually an eating disorder]] -- again, after an incident that almost ''killed'' Leo -- and said he was full of excuses like his mother and the weakest in the family. [[spoiler:Then he does cut Leo off, taking away his house and finances by saying he "clearly didn't want [his] help anymore".]] Diana doesn't speak back to Aries like Leo's brave enough to do because she fears for her family's financial security and her employment and so does whatever her father says out of fear.
** As more about the late King George comes out, it's clear he wasn't kind to his children other than Crown Princess Quinn --and while Quinn missed the bulk of his neglect as the heir to the throne even she wasn't fully loved for who she is, seeing as he submitted her to abusive ABA therapy to downplay her autistic traits. Penelope was neglected and never got the attention she hoped he would give her; she still praises him in death where her siblings don't, but she deep down privately laments that she was never good enough for him to show affection to. And Will and Fred [[spoiler:were almost killed at birth for being born as a "monster" -- ConjoinedTwins -- and only Louise's suggestion to put them in TheFreakShow saved them being separated where it would have likely killed Will because George didn't care if he died since he was a third "princess". But George ''still'' forced them to stay [[MadwomanInTheAttic confined to the attic]] when not on display, rather than anyone seeing them "walking around for free".]]

* ''Webcomic/YellowBrickRamble'': This is a comic-slash-graphic-novel adaptation of the '''second''' novel of the [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] series: ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'', and the adaptation changes quite a bit. In the original source, the main character did not even have parents who were ever mentioned, merely a guardian he lived with. In this comic, by contrast, the main character has a father who has been so absent and negelectful that he's only visited three times in fifteen years, and an emtionally abusive mother who treats her horribly because she is a trans-girl. Of course, the comic diverges so much from the original novel that it's not yet known for sure how or even if the main character really is related to her parents.

She's eventually liberated from him, but continues to be plagued with DelusionsOfParentalLove afterwards.
