History Main / AbandonmentInducedAnimosity

* ''Fanfic/IAmNotDoneMHA'': Due to a TraumaCongaLine of losing his father, being [[ParentalNeglect neglected]] by his [[AdaptationalJerkass mother]], being physically scarred by his BarbaricBully and not having a single person even ''try'' to help him, Izuku is extremely bitter and reluctant to [[NeverBeHurtAgain trust anyone]].

* ''Fanfic/ConsequencesMiraculousLadybug'': Lila, once caught for one of her ''many'' crimes, will often claim that her mother abandoned her in her time of need... [[SubvertedTrope ignoring the fact that Mrs. Rossi is usually doing the only responsible thing a parent can do in such a situation by ensuring Lila faces the best legal punishment for her crimes and attempting to clean up the messes her lies resulted in.]] Even her disowning her daughter due to the sheer scale of the crimes she committed is treated as justified.
* In the fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47985553 Farther's Day]]'' (a ''Anime/DokiDokiPreCure'' story), it is revealed that [[DisappearedDad Sharuru's father Marcel]] cheated on his wife Leverett and then divorced her, leaving the family as a result. [[PleaseDontLeaveMe Sharuru begged him not to leave her]], but he just harshly shoved her to the ground, [[IHaveNoSon claiming that she was no longer his daughter]]. Because of this, Father's Day is a very heartbreaking day for Sharuru, as it reminds her of what she has lost.
* Downplayed. In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10519888/1/The-Humanity-of-Spider-Man The Humanity of Spider-Man]]'', Spider-Man admits to Iron Man that one reason he doesn't want to join the Avengers is because he's a little upset that neither they nor SHIELD were around to help when the Lizard attacked NYC (and killed Captain Stacy). Iron Man sheepishly admits that he has a point.

* ''Fanfic/MovingOn'': Marinette ends up moving schools due to the class' bullying (all of it due to Lila's lies) getting too bad. She isn't willing to talk to Alya, Nino, or Adrien (although she talks to Chat Noir) for a few months after, and is both infuriated that they believed Lila over her and sad that they betrayed her so easily. Adrien, to his credit, realizes fairly quickly that he screwed up, and works to try and earn back Marinette's trust. Alya and Nino, however, continue to believe that Marinette was in the wrong until [[spoiler:Ladybug says on Chloé's podcast that Rena Rouge and Carapace are retired until further notice due to bad behavior on the parts of their civilian identities.]]

* ''Fanfic/RidingASunset'': When Hot Rod and Bulkhead get to Earth, they are happy to see Bumblebee after several hundred years. However, a miscommunication leads Hot Rod to believe Bumblebee, after all their time apart, has replaced him with Charlie as his best friend. This leads to him being fairly antagonistic to 'Bee and Charlie for a while, until Ironhide and Optimus manage to tell Charlie ''why'' Hot Rod feels the way he does, and [[CommonalityConnection she manages to talk to/get through to him.]]
* ''WebComic/ScarletLady'': [[spoiler:After she reveals herself as Scarlet Lady, people go off at Chloé for attempting to leave Paris for New York (something she announced ''very'' publicly the day before) because of a wounded ego. Even if they don't like her, her Miraculous Cure is needed to make sure that no akuma does any lasting damage to Paris or its people. If she'd left, then there would have been no way to repair the damage done by akuma attacks. [[NeverMyFault Chloé]], of course, just thinks everyone's being dramatic.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheSpectacularSpiderManLostInGotham'': Peter Parker fears that his friends and family back in his New York all hate him due to his being TrappedInAnotherWorld after pulling a HeroicSacrifice. He feels he deserves it as well, believing that without a Spider-Man, his New York is doomed. [[spoiler: He's proven wrong halfway through the fic: Aunt May's just happy that he's still alive, and New York is okay because Gwen Stacy took up the mantle of Spider-Man.]]
* In the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31456490 The Artist's Garden at Madripoor]]'', Steve goes to [[Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier Madripoor]] in order to acquire the last component for the [[Film/AvengersEndgame Quantum Tunnel]] and discovers that [[FallenHero Sharon]] is the Power Broker, the city's JudgeJuryAndExecutioner. She refuses to give him the component unless he hands over his shield or Sam's wings [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar (which she stole for him and led to her becoming a fugitive)]] as well as more or less stating that she's largely uninterested in bringing back everyone who disappeared in [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the Snap]] because it could threaten her position. [[YouUsedToBeBetterSpeech When Steve angrily asks what happened to the woman he used to know]], Sharon [[ArmorPiercingResponse bitterly fires back]] that [[ThatManIsDead "That woman died when [he] abandoned her,"]] causing Steve [[ItsAllMyFault to feel anger and guilt for failing to find her and causing her fall from grace]]. He [[MustMakeAmends resolves to actually help her, such as getting her a long overdue pardon]].
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31564853 A Little Red and Blue]]'', Sharon is inadvertently sent to the year 1944 by Wanda and is later found by the past Steve and Bucky, introducing herself to them as "Kate". She is [[DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment initially rather hostile to the past Steve because of the fact that in her time]], [[DeconstructionFic he abandoned her]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar after she stole his shield for him]] [[Film/AvengersEndgame to stay in the past with her aunt Peggy]]. [[DefrostingIceQueen She eventually warms up to him]], even giving him some advice on how to better help the common people, [[TimeTravelRomance and the past Steve develops feelings for her]], even trying to convince her to join him as part of the Howling Commandos. When Sharon is sent back to the present, she comes across the present Steve who [[FixFic explains that he didn't actually stay in the past]] and [[StableTimeLoop that part of what inspired Peggy, particularly founding S.H.I.E.L.D., was Steve telling her Sharon's advice to him]].
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32567947 The Storms of War]]'', Steve refuses to let Sharon, who was recently injured during a mission and hasn't fully recovered yet, accompany him, Sam, and Wanda to Wakanda when they receive a distress signal, stating that it's too dangerous for her to go, upsetting her, which isn't helped by the fact that he had [[DeconstructionFic already basically left her behind]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar after she stole his shield for him]]. Later, when Steve assists Sharon in evading the police after an undercover mission, [[UnwantedRescue despite her insistence she could handle it on her own]], Sharon accuses Steve, based on the aforementioned events, that he thinks she isn't good enough to be a part of his team. This causes Steve to admit that he's scared of losing Sharon [[SlapSlapKiss and the two have sex]].

* ''Fanfic/TurtleKittens'': Shredder spends years trying to find Tang Shen, infuriated over the fact that she fled Japan after the death of Yoshi. He refuses to believe that her reasons for doing so were justified, seeing as how he (who's arguably [[TookALevelInJerkass worse]] here than in canon) killed [[DeathByAdaptation Yoshi and drowned]] [[WouldHurtAChild Miwa]] in a river, then [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped Tang Shen]]. He's so [[IfICantHaveYou convinced that Tang Shen is meant to be his]] that he tries to destroy any life she builds for herself that doesn't include him, which leads to him [[spoiler:trying to kill the Turtles like in canon.]] [[SarcasmMode Yeah, can't imagine why she didn't want to stay...]]

--> '''Mittens:''' ''(sighs)'' They leave her, wondering... what she did wrong.

* ''Film/ChildsPlay1988'': The film's living Chucky doll is inhabited by a dying criminal after his partner abandons him during a botched robbery. [[spoiler: Said partner is then killed by the doll in an act of revenge later in the film.]]

--> '''Bruce''': A murderer in life, now a murderer in death.

* ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast:'' One of the reasons Charles is on the outs with Magneto is his turning on Charles and leaving back in the 60s, taking Mystique with him (though the fact Erik did so after accidentally crippling Charles didn't help).

* ''Theatre/BeMoreChill'': Downplayed. After Michael is abandoned by his best friend Jeremy due to the SQUIP convincing him it will be better for his popularity, Michael is initially reluctant to help Jeremy, even as Jeremy's father begs him. Even after agreeing to help, he refuses to give Jeremy the Mountain Dew Red to deactivate the SQUIP until Jeremy apologizes (in spite of the fact that multiple students' free wills are in danger at the time).
--> '''Michael:''' ''(singing)'' Everything felt fine, when I was half of a pair. But through no fault of mine, there's no other half there.
* In ''Theatre/ShrekTheMusical'', Farquadd states that [[FreudianExcuse his father abandoning him is the reason why he wants to be a powerful ruler]]. [[spoiler:The end of the show reveals not only was Farquadd [[YouAreWhatYouHate half-dwarf]] (his father is Grumpy), but that he wasn't abandoned, he was kicked out because he was a 28-year-old loser mooching off of his parents.]]

'''Talion.''' ''[[{{Hypocrite}} You]]'' speak to me of betrayal? ''[[TranquilFury You abandoned me.]]'' You and Celebrimbor. ''[[DespairEventHorizon I have fought this war alone.]]''

* ''WebAnimation/DingoDoodles'': In Fools Gold, Erina, despite having a VitriolicBestBuds relationship with Sips, still gets pissed off when he decides to leave the team, calling him selfish even though he's doing it to protect them from his curse. Once reunited, Erina constantly shuns Sips for abandoning them ([[{{Hypocrite}} despite doing the same thing to Gothi moments after Sips left]]). Later discussed and justified when Erina reminds Gothi that she had just gone through a TraumaCongaLine (which included learning her father was executed and getting dumped by her girlfriend) when Sips decided to leave, and reveals this wasn't the first time she'd been abandoned. So, she left Gothi before Gothi could leave her too.

--> '''Blackarachnia''': It'll be a long time before I trust an Autobot. Especially ''you'', Optimus.

* ''Fanfic/MovingOn'': Marinette ends up moving schools due to the class' bullying (all of it due to Lila's lies) getting too bad. She isn't willing to talk to Alya, Nino, or Adrien (although she talks to Chat Noir) for a few months after, and is both infuriated that they believed Lila over her and sad that they betrayed her so easily. Adrien, to his credit, realizes fairly quickly that he screwed up, and works to try and earn back Marinette's trust. Alya and Nino, however, continue to believe that Marinette was in the wrong until [[spoiler:Ladybug says on Chloe's podcast that Rena Rouge and Carapace are retired until further notice due to bad behavior on the parts of their civilian identities.]]

* ''WebComic/ScarletLady'': [[spoiler:After she reveals herself as Scarlet Lady, people go off at Chloe for attempting to leave Paris for New York (something she announced ''very'' publicly the day before) because of a wounded ego. Even if they don't like her, her Miraculous Cure is needed to make sure that no akuma does any lasting damage to Paris or its people. If she'd left, then there would have been no way to repair the damage done by akuma attacks. [[NeverMyFault Chloe]], of course, just thinks everyone's being dramatic.]]

* ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'': This happens surprisingly often:
** ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'': Tai Lung was [[InterspeciesAdoption raised by]] [[ParentalSubstitute Shifu]] to believe that he was destined to be the Dragon Warrior. However, Oogway saw that Tai Lung was an ArrogantKungFuGuy and decided he couldn't be trusted with the Dragon scroll. Because Shifu simply went along with Oogway's decision instead of defending Tai Lung, the snow leopard believes that Shifu abandoned him, and has nothing but contempt for his adoptive father.

* ''Fanfic/NewStars'': After learning that [[spoiler:he and his brothers had all been implanted with inhibitor chips]], Maxx is devastated and feels betrayed. Thus, it's no real shock [[spoiler:when he doesn't take his only chance to return to his galaxy and decides to officially join the ''Orville'''s crew. They welcome him with open arms.]]

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': It's pretty clear during the tail end of [[Characters/MonsterVerseRussellFamily Emma Russell]]'s video call to the ''Argo'' when she starts arguing with Mark, that she's really bitter that her ex-husband [[GriefInducedSplit abandoned her and Madison]] for the last five years, starting when they needed him more than ever while they were grieving Andrew's death to the Titan battle; and she calls him out. [[spoiler:Emma also demonstrates that she's willing to (hesitantly) [[TilMurderDoUsPart leave Mark to die as a necessary collateral of her plan]], in contrast to how she [[VillainousParentalInstinct refuses to compromise on her daughter's life]]]]. A deleted scene that was shot for the movie, and the novelization's expansion, both take the "Animosity" a little further, confirming that Emma has projected by telling Madison that Mark was a useless drunk in an effort to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_alienation_syndrome alienate]] him from her.

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': It's pretty clear during the tail end of [[Characters/MonsterVerseEmmaRussell Emma Russell]]'s video call to the ''Argo'' when she starts arguing with Mark, that she's really bitter that her ex-husband [[GriefInducedSplit abandoned her and Madison]] for the last five years, starting when they needed him more than ever while they were grieving Andrew's death to the Titan battle; and she calls him out. [[spoiler:Emma also demonstrates that she's willing to (hesitantly) [[TilMurderDoUsPart leave Mark to die as a necessary collateral of her plan]], in contrast to how she [[VillainousParentalInstinct refuses to compromise on her daughter's life]]]]. A deleted scene that was shot for the movie, and the novelization's expansion, both take the "Animosity" a little further, confirming that Emma has projected by telling Madison that Mark was a useless drunk in an effort to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_alienation_syndrome alienate]] him from her.

* ''WebComic/ScarletLady'': [[spoiler:After she reveals herself as Scarlet Lady, Chloe is shocked to learn that she's HatedByAll, with many people calling her out for being a NominalHero at best and TheLoad at worst and telling her to turn her Miraculous over to someone who'll use it right (even her half-sister, Zoe). Chloe calls everyone a traitor and feels that she's been abandoned by all who care about her (ignoring the fact that her father and Zoe ''do'' actually care for her and are trying to help her).]] Chloe thinks this trope is in play, but in truth she's just a drama queen whose KarmaHoudiniWarranty finally ran out.

* ''VideoGame/AnotherCode'': Ashley's relationship with her father sours between games. Granted, their relationship was already rocky due to him pretending to be dead for most of her life, but him darting off to Lake Juliet for a year shortly after he finally came back only serves to make her want very little to do with him. She resists his attempts to reestablish a familial bond until he admits that this second instance was because he was trying to investigate what happened to Sayoko, Ashley's mother.

** Humpty Dumpty, it turns out, is pretty sore at his titular childhood [[BloodBrothers blood brother]] and old friend for abandoning him during a botched robbery years ago; [[spoiler:albeit one which Humpty outright deceived Puss into accidentally committing, which ruined Puss's old life, and Puss only abandoned him once he realized what Humpty did to him. And he makes it known with several of his actions to manipulate Puss in the movie's present, like getting him unconscious in the desert and drawing the attention of buzzards to him.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': "Not What He Seems" reveals that [[spoiler: Stan felt this way towards Ford for a while because, when their father through them out of the house, Ford did nothing to stop it. In Ford's defense, Stan had (accidentally) destroyed Ford's science project and ruined his chances of going to an exclusive university (which would have set the family up for life). Still, Stan was hurt that his best friend did nothing to stop their father from disowning him. That said, Stan still works for decades to fix Ford's portal and bring him back to their dimension.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicStarlightGlimmer Starlight Glimmer]] was abandoned by her best friend Sunburst when he got his Cutie Mark before her and got sent off to Canterlot to study. This made Starlight believe that the only way to true friendship is to get rid of all differences, including Cutie Marks, which she accomplished in "Our Town" through forcing her ideas on others, secretly keeping her own talent in order to take others' talents away. After the Mane 6 reveal the truth, turning the town ponies against her, she returns a whole season later to take her revenge, almost breaking Equestria to split the Mane 6 apart until Twilight makes her realize the damage she's doing. Subverted when she actually reunites with Sunburst himself, as by then she has had a HeelFaceTurn and is more embarrassed by her past villainy than angry at him.

** [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerCatra Catra's]] StartOfDarkness comes from the fact that Adora left the Horde (and her) for the Princesses and a magic sword. She carries the sting of Adora's defection for a long time after.
** During a rescue mission to save Glimmer and Bow from the Horde, [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerEntrapta Entrapta]] is accidentally left behind (they didn't look for her because it had looked like she'd gotten caught in a burst of flame and incinerated). [[TheDragon Catra]] is the one who tells Entrapta that the Princesses left her behind, heavily implying that it was because they didn't like her. Entrapta is heartbroken by this realization and agrees to defect to the Horde as a result.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'': The clones slowly but surely begin to hate/leave the Empire when it becomes clear that the new regime intends to decommission them without giving them any resources or knowledge of how to live like a civilian. [[spoiler: Those who rebel and are captured are taken to a secret lab for potentially lethal experimentation.]] Rex and the Batchers (minus Crosshair) were among the first to leave.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Played with in regards to Boscha. She initially acts resentful towards Amity for ditching her for Luz, but this ultimately turns out to be her hiding the fact that she sincerely misses the girl's companionship and desperately wants to rekindle their friendship, much to Amity's surprise, since she assumed Boscha wasn't capable of having real emotional attachments.

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': Blackarachnia, formerly the Autobot cadet Elita-1, was accidentally left behind on a planet infested with giant spiders that she, Optimus, and Sentinel were visiting without permission. When left alone with the spiders, she was infected with their venom and turned into a techno-organic hybrid. She left the Autobots (letting them think she was dead) out of fear of being [[TheyWouldCutYouUp dissected for study]] [[note]] Considering the [[FantasticRacism xenophobia most Autobots have towards organics]], her fears were likely justified [[/note]] and joined the Decepticons (while they hate her organic half, she at least knows where she stands with them). She hates what she's become, but she hates Optimus and Sentinel even more because of what happened.

* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'': One of the reasons why [[spoiler:Simon]] developed his hatred and mistrust of the Train's denizens is because his companion and ParentalSubstitute, [[spoiler:Samantha the Cat]], left him to die when they were running from a Ghom monster. He only survived because [[spoiler:Grace]] intervened. [[spoiler:The cat]] never returned even after it was clear Simon was alive. Years later, seeing or being reminded of the [[spoiler:cat]] triggers [[spoiler:Simon's Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder]] and he bears resentment for her abandonment. [[spoiler:Samantha]] for her part, somewhat feels bad, but refuses to [[TheUnapologetic own up and apologize]] even years later, at most, giving [[spoiler:Simon]] gifts as a shallow way to hold off her guilt.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Boscha is resentful towards Amity for ditching her for Luz. At first Amity didn’t think Boscha is the kind of person who was capable of even caring or feeling, but [[DidYouThinkICantFeel she finds out she’s dead wrong about that]]. Boscha begs Amity to come back to her, making it clear it ''did'' upset her, as things just weren’t the same without Amity. The thing is, Boscha just processes moments very differently than Amity would expect.

* ''VideoGame/AnotherCode'': Ashley's relationship with her father sours between games when he darted off to Lake Juliet for a year. She resists his attempts to reestablish a bond until he admits he did it to find out more about her mom.
