* General Cross from ''[=~D.Gray-Man~=]'' raised Allen Walker and sort of acted as a surrogate father, but it is implied and shown that he heavily abuses Allen (though it's uselessly [[ComedicSociopathy shown comedically]]). When Allen was young, Cross would frequently gamble and get into debt, leaving young Allen to deal with the debt collectors (which is the contributing reason to why Allen became so good at cheating in cards). Cross is also shown later punching Allen (again, played for comedy), suggesting that he frequently did this even when Allen was young. He also left the poor kid to hunt down the Black Order headquarters by himself with no clues to go on, knocking Allen out so he could avoid reporting in. Basically, despite the fact that it's [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood played for laughs]], Cross's behavior spans emotional, physical, and financial abuse, with a side order of abandonment.

** Rosa also has been known to leave Maria at home for several days on end, often breaking promises she'd made to her beforehand for no reason other than to go on a vacation and leaving her very young daughter to buy dinner at the supermarket every day. And when people who notice the signs try to interfere on Maria's behalf, it... isn't nice.Added line 421:

In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it starts wrecking Michina Town after not getting the MacGuffin it loaned the people there. The Dragon Trio show up to stop Arceus, and get a merciless beatdown for their trouble. Sure, he heals them later, but still, might want to get a grip on that temper there, Arceus...19/Nov/09 at 03:08 PM

* [[TheSopranos Tony Soprano]] is emotionally manipulated and terrorized by his difficult mother throughout his childhood and well into his adult life. One notable incident featured his mother threatening stick a fork in his eye when he was only ten years old. Tony's father was outwardly friendly, yet also a manipulative sociopath who indoctrinated his son into violent crime and the mob. It's implied that the various degrees of emotional manipulation and terror Tony suffered under his parents is what turns him into the violent sociopath that heads the New Jersey crime families. Oddly enough, Tony manages to become a better father to his kids than his parents ever were to him (despite being an aforementioned violent sociopath), and his children turn out relatively nice and normal, even if they have a few issues of their own.to:

* This troper presents that Mr. Fujinami, of ''UruseiYatsura'', fulfils at least several of the types of abuse in regards his daughter [[WholesomeCrossdresser Ryuunosuke]]. Apparently solely because of his insane levels of chauvinism, he is convinced that a "mere" girl is unable to run his precious (run down) tea shop, and so he has forcibly raised her as a boy, despite her protests, since her mother [[strike:died]] probably left him. He refuses to allow her to buy any feminine clothes, both by refusing to give her money to do so and stealing/destroying any she does manage to get, demands she speak in masculine fashion, refers to her only as a male, frightens off any boys she acts interested in, encourages girls who are attracted to her, insults and mocks her feminity, and otherwise goes out of his way to thwart any attempt by her to discover her feminine side. He routinely enforces his desires with violence, and though she [[CallingTheOldManOut is quick to degrade him and beat the tar out of him in return]], he always manages to beat her. For some insane reason he has dozens of pictures of himself, baby Ryuunosuke and women hired for that purpose posing, so many so that even he can't remember which one of them is the real Masako Fujinami, and so Ryuunosuke will never know what her mother looked like. Despite his daughter's extreme distaste and discomfort, he set up for her an ArrangedMarriage with a male-to-female WholesomeCrossdresser.to:
