* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30411063/chapters/74976912 Deadshots]]'': With Zuko seemingly dead, the full brunt of Ozai's terrible parenting falls on Azula much earlier. At one point, she drags in a man who snuck into her room in the middle of the night in order to complain about her guards being lazy. Ozai explains he downgraded her guards on purpose. The worst part is that he's not actually trying to get her raped; he genuinely thinks that fighting off advances from boorish nobles who think they can rape their way into a marriage is great training, and the fact that she keeps killing her assailants is proof that he's right. Ty Lee and Iroh quickly realize that Azula is getting worn to the bone and intervene to keep her from either killing herself or going insane.

* ''Fanfic/FracturesATLA'': Ozai, as in canon, with his numerous torture sessions carried out against his own son. [[spoiler:He is even an abusive uncle, trying (and thankfully failing) to have Lu Ten assassinated.]]

[[AC:Franchise/{{Batman}}]]
* ''{{FanFic/Anglerfish}}'': Jack Drake expecting Tim to be his primary caregiver despite rolling in money while he's recovering from his coma, yelling at his kid, taking and breaking Tim's things over perceived insults, and threatening violence against Tim for imagined slights is treated more seriously here by Jason that it was in ''ComicBook/Robin1993'', where Tim didn't want to admit to his father's faults.

* Salem in ''Fanfic/BlazBlueAlternativeRemnant'' (''Franchise/BlazBlue'' and ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'') isn't a good mother to her younger children, mostly by way of being so favoring to her eldest son. As seen in Chapter 75, she punished her youngest son and took his toy away to give to his brother when a fight broke out between the two, despite said brother having instigated the fight in the first place, with the younger only acting in self-defense. Speaking of said elder son, her treatment of [[spoiler:his reincarnation, Ragna]], is downright deplorable. Despite loving him, she has very few qualms ruining his life to force him to have only her to turn to and locking him away in her castle until he complies with her views.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10964874/1/Dark-Dynasty Dark Dynasty]]'', Pan is a horrible father ''and'' grandfather: not only he threw his son away as trash, he also kidnapped his eldest grandson and [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame treated him like prey]], refraining from killing him because someone had to continue the bloodline. If you think it's a PetTheDog moment, he's implied to have sold the kid to dark magic users for wind-wiping and forced rejuvenation because he thought it would be more fun. Nowadays [[AndShowItToYou he has ripped his great-grandson's heart]] to replace his and live forever, and actually plans to abduct his youngest grandson and make him his new toy. Okay, Pan doesn't ''know'' about the kid being his other grandson, but you can bet it wouldn't stop him if it were the case.
* In the ''Fanfic/DementedVerse'', Dean in particular is angry when he hears about Harry's upbringing with the Dursleys.
* ''Fanfic/FateOfTheClans'': Though the details are unknown, Saruhiko had been abused by his dad.
* In ''Fanfic/TheGodsAwaken'', The Blights are not really the most perfect family on paper: while Alador did force Amity to end her friendship with Willow, it is apparent he was hard-pressed into doing it because of Odalia. Odalia herself emotionally and psychologically abuses Amity (whom she tries to mold into being like her) by dying her hair green or threatening to send her to the Conformatorium when Amity was refusing to disavow her friends. Aside from Amity, Odalia hardly takes her older children into consideration and has no qualms with draining her son of his magic.
* [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Professor Membrane]] was never a great father in canon, but the first ''Fanfic/HalloweenUnspectacular'' makes him even ''[[AdaptationalVillainy worse]]'': [[spoiler:not satisfied with how Dib turned out, he conducted painful experiments on him as part of a government project to create a PhysicalGod. Needless to say, you don't feel sorry for him when the project [[GoneHorriblyRight goes horribly right]] and he becomes one of the first victims of Dib's (now [=ReGenesis=]) rampage.]]
* It's not given great attention, but in ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMysticForce'', the Rangers all express degrees of discomfort hearing about Harry’s childhood.
* In ''Fanfic/InfinityCrisis'', while Nebula's history with Thanos comes up, Bruce Banner makes reference to his abusive father when talking with Caitlin Snow.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBoilingPoint'' has not only the canon example of the Blights, but Boscha's parents: Prometheus and Amirani. The latter moreso, since when Boscha comes see her [[spoiler: after getting the stuffing beaten out of her by Amity,]] not only does she show little sympathy for her daughter, but ''congratulates the perpetrator''.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Interventions}}'', Bob Bishop gets called out by Xander on his treatment of Elle.
* Jaune's parents are not shown in the greatest light in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13871607/1/Jaune-and-Courage-the-Cowardly-Dog Jaune and Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''. They pressured their son in to becoming a Huntsman despite the fact that Jaune was too busy doing jobs and taking care of the Arc Family to receive any formal training, and then had ''the nerve'' to [[IHaveNoSon disown him]] after said lack of training and forged transcripts got him expelled. Jaune considers getting adopted by the Bagge family to be one of the greatest things to have ever happened to him.
* In ''Fanfic/LostInCamelot'', Uther is a clear example of this, but Bo references her own grim history with her mother, as well as her adoptive parents’ harsh reactions after she unintentionally killed her first boyfriend.
* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' has John Mandeville, to [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid Chloe]]]]. He is [[spoiler:a [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slaver]] who raped her mother (thus [[ChildByRape giving birth to Chloe]]), and enslaved them the same way as other dark elves under him for [[SexSlave entertainment]], which led to her mother's death]]. Even after [[spoiler:Chloe was rescued by Olga, Mandeville eventually finds his daughter and subjects her to prolonged ColdBloodedTorture]].
* In ''Fanfic/OnceUponASupernaturalTime'', this is acknowledged for Regina in particular as in canon, but Dean also finds himself reflecting on John Winchester’s flaws as a father even if he still admires him as a hunter.
* ''Fanfic/RemnantInferisDOOM'':
** Marcus Black, if Mercury being reminded of him by watching the Slayer brutalize his enemies is any indication. He later spends some time beating his son up when they re-encounter.
** William's (maternal) grandfather was shown to be a complete asshole, having arranged for William and his little brother, Hunter, to be kidnapped and treating his daughter, Aelia, like crap. It serves to make Doomguy beating him to a pulp all the more satisfying.
** Like canon, Jacques is both emotionally and physically abusive with his youngest children. He outright manhandles Weiss for trying to comfort Ruby after he [[spoiler:had the Slayer teleported away]] and he keeps Whitley under a tight leash to the point where the kid has to actively remind himself to always play the role of TheDutifulSon.
* ''Fanfic/{{Swordsmen}}'': Akane/[[DoNotCallMePaul Heather's]] parents, of the neglect and verbal variety, as by her recollection, her mother spent more time drunk than not, and her father couldn't speak a word to her without being overly critical. There's also Morgan Trevor's parents, as her father outright hates her since the only reason he married her mother was because her mother was pregnant with her, plus both of them verbally abuse her, with her mother having outright called her a slut on one occasion. [[spoiler:Morgan's mother also forced her to get an abortion the first time she got pregnant, with the alternative being that she'd be thrown out on the street if she didn't comply]].
* ''Fanfic/TheThreeKingsHunt'': James Andrews is mentally and physically abusive towards his wife and both his children. The fic does a good job of portraying the issues that arise from abusive homes from [[spoiler: Ryou's mental instability (kleptomania & insomnia etc.) to Amane's anger management issues]].
* In ''Fanfic/TheWheelAndTheButterflySaga'', Dan's parents are confirmed to have been ''very'' abusive towards him, keeping him in a cage for the first few years of his life, in addition to the emotional abuse.

[[AC: Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}]]

** [[spoiler:Yuuma’s]] mother abused her and [[spoiler:conditioned her into pretending to be a boy]], all because she wanted a son and not a daughter.
** [[spoiler:Jasper]]’s parents take the cake, having abused their child so severely they [[spoiler:snapped, killing them both and burning the house down]]. In Chapter 5, some of the physical abuse is gone into slightly more detail: a flashback implies their mother regularly used a knife to punish them, and it’s revealed most of their torso is covered in burn scarring from their father’s punishments.

[[AC:WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom]]
* ''Fanfic/ResurrectedMemories'': [[spoiler: More of the neglectful variety but from all of the Flashbacks, it’s obvious that Ember’s parents weren’t good parents, being more focused on work and social climbing to notice their daughter’s needs, which may have contributed to her hated of adult authority. Luckily Ember’s sister Amy turned out to be [[GoodParents a much better parent]] to her two children Zoe and Maggie.]]

* While Vesser's parents fall squarely into this trope, his dad reaches new lows in {{Fanfic/Lightwaves}}. In Vesser's backstory chapter, it's revealed that he got his selkie wife to marry him by forcing her to do so in exchange for protection. When she begs to be allowed to return to the sea, when Vesser's sixteen, he responds by hitting her and then hits Vesser for the [[SarcasmMode horrible crime]] of staring in horror at the action. When Vesser, reacting purely in fear, bites his dad, Mr. Hatch reacts by calling the police to have his wife and son be ''arrested'' as Undesirables, leading to Mrs. Hatch's death and Vesser becoming an outlaw. The entire thing basically turns Vesser against all humans in the city.

* ''Fanfic/LilasLament'': Lila thinks Adrien was lying about his father being oppressive and controlling to gain sympathy from his classmates, as she believes that no one who provides their child with a luxurious lifestyle and makes them famous could be abusive. Of course, when she uses the Wish and alters reality so that Gabriel becomes her father, she learns for herself that Adrien was very much telling the truth.

* ''Fanfic/ApexPredatorMHA'':

** Izuku's father Hisashi used to beat him and Inko before he left them. However, he manages to outdo ''Endeavor'' when he [[spoiler:''places a hit on his own son''.]]

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19110040/chapters/45409126 Lessons Learned]],'' Mitsuki is revealed to have been an abusive mother to Katsuki, yelling at him daily, hitting and slapping him, refusing him meals to [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment punish him for failed tests or bad grades]] (which provides a darker explanation as to why his grades are so high), kicking him out of the house for periods of up to a week for arguing with her, and destroying his personal possessions. While Masaru does not appear to have actively participated in this abuse, [[BystanderSyndrome he does not do anything to stop it]] and blames Katsuki for antagonizing his mother. The story begins with Best Jeanist escorting Katsuki home after he's rescued from being kidnapped by the League of Villains, and he doesn't even get through the door of his house before Mitsuki starts yelling at and hitting him. In response, Best Jeanist immediately takes steps to remove Katsuki from his parents' custody, investigates the full extent of the abuse, and winds up adopting the boy himself.

[[AC:WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic]]

** One example is in ''FanFic/TheNuptialverse'', where they are emotionally abusive, constantly treating her like a foal and putting her down. [[spoiler: When she stands up to her father, he starts beating her.]]
*** In the same series, [[spoiler: Pinkie Pie's father became emotionally distant after his mother died, culminating in hitting Pinkie and accusing her of wasting his time when she got a cutie mark he didn't approve of (her mother didn't partake, but didn't stop him). This led to Pinkie running away and ending up in Ponyville.]] Unlike most examples, however, they're revealed to have eventually [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regretted]] what they'd done and try to make amends.

* In ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMov'', Pinkie claims that her father forces her to shove glass up her vagina, [[spoiler: but it's a bold-faced lie, made because Pinkie felt nobody was paying attention to her]].

* ''Fanfic/ThePalaververse'': In the last chapter of ''Treasures'', due to Daring giving out clearly false CutHimselfShaving-type explanations for her injuries sustained during the story's adventure, abuse from her father was the InUniverse suspicion [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/331376/6/treasures/wherein-our-heroine-tells-a-tale#comment/11522773 confirmed]] by WordOfGod:
--> '''Story:''' “Thank you for being brave and honest, Daring,” said Celestia, a genuine smile breaking out across her features once more. “Those are good virtues to have. And what you’ve told me isn’t as bad as what I feared it could be.\\\
'''Carabas:''' Parental abuse was Celestia's worst suspicion at that moment, aye, to account for Daring's array of injuries. Not convinced or certain of it, by any means, but anxious to check to whether or not it might be the case. The real story came as something of a relief as well as a surprise.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3665908/1/Secrets Secrets]]'' is a ''Pokémon Live'' inspired oneshot where Ash is [[LukeIAmYourFather Giovanni's]] ChildByRape. Delia originally resented Ash and named him a synonym for "dirt". She abused him and hated him for the first several years of his life, not even teaching him how to use the toilet until he was five. It all changed when a six-year old Ash saved her from getting hit by a car. Since then, Delia's been a devoted mom to Ash.

* ''Fanfic/PokemonLightAU'': Gloria's abusive father is a sore topic with her. Bede goes too far in an argument when he brings him up.
* ''FanFic/PokemonAMarvelousJourney'': Caiseal's biological parents, his mother Nollaig and father Fergus, were of the emotionally abusive and neglectful variety, with his mother in particular hating him and often calling him a murderer [[spoiler: because he absorbed his twin in utero]], and because his sister Violet didn't have any problems, they openly favored his little sister Violet over him. In fact, Nollaig dropped him off at the Ice Path, knowing the environment and the Pokemon in it were dangerous, just to be rid of him, and cursed him out and disowned him when he found his way back. She's the reason why he has such pervasive trust issues. Fergus is no better, as he tries to keep Violet and Caiseal apart in favor of keeping his wife happy. When he challenges Caiseal to a battle, claiming that he'll let him see Violet if Caiseal wins, the latter accepts, even though Fergus knew his son would lose because of the experience gap [[spoiler:...and then rubs salt in the wound by admitting that even if Caiseal won, Fergus would still keep Violet from him]].

** Roman had an abusive father. It’s one of the reasons he hates the world.
** Fox and his boyfriend Ink’s parents were firm believers in Vacuo’s MightMakesRight mentality, and abused their sons until they were “strong”. Ink had it even worse with his mother [[ParentalIncest raping him]].

* ''Fanfic/LifeOreDeath'' may be notable for the realistic ways it explores this trope. Wally's father was an abusive drunk when he was in elementary school, but [[HeelFaceTurn Rudy sobered up and got counseling,]] so Wally now has a strong relationship with his father. Slade Wilson trained his kids, but because he had his non-criminal wife to balance him out he avoided this line, whereas Artemis was abused by her father and her mother may have been bad in the past, but reformed after jail.

!!Crossovers
* ''Fanfic/{{Paradoxus}}'', a (''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'') crossover fic:
** Given how much the guy hates his mother's guts for abandoning him, Riven proves to be not only an absentee father for Harmony, but it's even dismissive of her and it's {{implied}} he would have turned his back on her the moment he caught wind of Harmony's sexual orientation as a lesbian. That's why Harmony spends more time with her grandfather Ho-Boe and her "aunt" Galatea than she ever did with Riven.
** Sky was once a loving, attentive father. Once. When Bloom died, he felt like his life lost all semblance of purpose and just reclused himself in his royal duties, causing him to terribly neglect his daughters who had just lost their mother. He wasn't affectionate anymore and couldn't care less when they were witnessing the horrors of war or were suffering grueling training in Azeroth. They got turned into bitter, traumatized ChildSoldiers and he didn't even bat an eye. [[spoiler: When he finally came to his senses, it was far too late and his daughters didn't want anything to do with him anymore.]]
** Daniella, a recurring character who was Stella's partner in their fashion company (and now the major shareholder), is dismissive, neglectful, and abusive towards her twin sons. She purposefully got pregnant with the intention of preventing her husband from leaving her and things only got worse from there. It's not rare for her to leave the twins on their own in the house while forgetting to stock the fridge or make sure they were attending school. Years later, when they formed a band and got a name of their own, Daniella sucked on their fame and set up scandals to gather interest around them.
* Masami Tsukuyomi, head of the Crying Willow School on the [[LadyLand Amazon Island]] of Femille in ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'', goes on a public rant when she confronts Ranma that she always resented her son Harumi for being a difficult birth, rendering her barren and costing her a "true" heir to her school. She also freely admits to not only knowing about and doing nothing to stop the other students of her school from ganging up on the IncompletelyTrained Harumi and viciously beating him in savage gang attacks for years, but actively encouraging them to do so, in hopes that this would break Harumi's dreams of becoming her heir and make him stop embarrassing her by pursuing such an "inappropriate" dream.
----

[[AC: Others]]

* Harren Hoare from ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones'' is heavily implied to be this. Three out of four children grew up to be messed up in some way and he likely had a hand in this. Firmly believing in raising his sons with a strong hand, he showed little love for them, combining this trope with ParentalNeglect. On top of that, he respected them only when they earned it, which at least Harlan and Harndon never did. His physical beating of Harmund instilled the boy with a deep-seated wish to assure his dominance over others, which led to him becoming [[BigBrotherBully abusive]] to his younger siblings as well, something Harren either did not care about, or even outright encouraged.
** In an interesting {{subver|tedTrope}}sion to this, Harren is shown to have at least some love for his sons. He keeps even the mentally damaged Harndon around despite his lack of worth for the house and gets enraged like never before when Harlan is seriously wounded. This implies that his actions as an abusive father are actually a misguided case of ToughLove.

* ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fanfic, features Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu, who in this continuity [[spoiler:was not driven insane by the contact experiments]], but she emotionally abuses Asuka, turning her into a ShrinkingViolet. In an interesting semi-aversion, Kyoko realizes her mistakes when the other NERV personnel nearly murder her for it, and resolves to try to become a better person. She and Asuka are now on at least amicable terms.

* ''Fanfic/LifeOreDeath'' may be notable for the realistic ways it averts this as often as it plays it straight. Wally's father was an abusive drunk when he was in elementary school, but [[HeelFaceTurn Rudy sobered up and got counseling,]] so Wally now has a strong relationship with his father. Slade Wilson trained his kids, but because he had his non-criminal wife to balance him out he avoided this line, whereas Artemis was abused by her father and her mother may have been bad in the past, but reformed after jail.

* In the NextGenFic ''Fanfic/{{Paradoxus}}'' (''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''), it's {{averted}} with the major canonical characters, i.e., the six Winx plus Roxy, Daphne, and Sylvanas. All of them are [[MamaBear protective]], caring mothers who do their best to raise their children in healthy environments and not impose their own worldviews onto them. However, this trope is played straight with a few individuals:

* ''FanFic/WarOfRemnantARWBY Anthology'':

[[AC:''Literature/{{Twilight}}'']]

* Fanfic/TheImmortalGame:

* In ''Fanfic/GhostOfYou'' (essentially the sequel to ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'') Hermione's parents, well known for being loving and understanding in canon, were actually abusers who kidnapped her from her real parents. According to Tara and Raven "[[InsaneTrollLogic this is possible because it is never implied that it's NOT true]]".

* ''Fanfic/UsWitheringUnderTheSun'': Woo-jin's parents favored his sister over him, telling him he's undeserving of any achievements he earns and telling off anyone they hear praising him. Otherwise, they ignore him. In the second chapter, Woo-jin tells Joon-yeong that part of the reason he wants to leave the country is because his parents hate him and he has to take care of himself.

* ''Fanfic/ADifferentMiraculousSetOfCircumstances'' (''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''): Adding to his canonical emotional neglect and psychological abuse, Gabriel Agreste regularly beats his son into submission and has [[BrainwashedAndCrazy akumatized him]]. He even performs a {{Familial Body Snatch|er}} when heavily dissatisfied with his son's behavior.

* ''Fanfic/WithPearlAndRubyGlowing'' has ''several'' parents that aren't winning a parent of the year award anytime soon, and many are even sexually abusive to their kids.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39037209/chapters/97648554 Programmed to Disappoint]]'', Father is even more of an abuser towards the Delightful Children than he is in canon, outright beating and burning them when he gets mad and the only reason he doesn't do it more often is because he wants to ensure they still look proper for school. During the summer season, he hurts them so often that his staff resort to outright hiding them in their closet.

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' has John Mandeville, to [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid Chloe]]]]. He is [[spoiler:a [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slaver]] who raped her mother (thus [[ChildByRape giving birth to Chloe]]), and enslaved them the same way as other dark elves under him for [[SexSlave entertainment]], which led to her mother's death]]. Even after [[spoiler:Chloe was rescued by Olga, Mandeville eventually finds his daughter and subjects her to prolonged ColdBloodTorture]].

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39037209/chapters/97648554 Programmed to Disappoint]]'', Father is even more of an abuser towards the Delightful Children than he is in canon, outright beating and burning them when he gets mad and the only reason he doesn't do it more often is because he wants to ensure they still look proper for school. During the summer season, he hurts them so often that his staff resort to outright hiding in their closet.

* In [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39037209/chapters/97648554 Programmed to Disappoint]], Father is even more of this towards the Delightful Children than he is in canon. He burns his adopted children, and regularly beats them.
