Abusive Parents/Video Games/Visual Novel


 * Ah, Tsukihime, what form of angst don't you have. One of the characters is . Spending her childhood locked in a room and being raped daily by her master,, and doing so to , made her a literal Emotionless Girl: she put on on a horrible cheery mask to hide her (lack of) feelings , and in some routes of the game, she.
 * Some? Just because you never see the effects in the other routes doesn't mean she wasn't doing it. As a VN, it makes the most sense to assume that everything's exactly the same in all the routes except for those things which are changed by the player's choices.
 * Things aren't exactly the same in all the routes, though. The Near Side and Far Side routes seem to be almost completely separate, as shown by the differences displayed by SHIKI.
 * Also, Fate/stay night has, who has a very similar backstory to . While , her stepbrother rapes her repeteadly.
 * Her adoptive uncle Kariya Matou was a victim of the same sort of
 * Jigoro Hakamichi, Shizune and Hideaki's father, of Katawa Shoujo. He not only frequently insults his children, Shizune's friends and the student council, but also has refused to learn sign language to speak with his deaf daughter, and has tried for 12 years to get Shizune to learn how to speak, unwilling to accept that she is unable to do so.
 * Kara no Shoujo had Shinji's parents and Yaginuma's father.
 * While really more of an Abusive Uncle, Complete Monster Teppei Hojo from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni definitely fits this trope. He beats Satoko and forces her to do chores for him, threatening to burn down her beloved brother's room if she doesn't comply. Teppei's fate changes in each of the arcs he appears in, and none of them are pretty. He is ; ; ; and
 * Though she is rarely mentioned, Satoko's aunt behaved in a similar manner. It didn't end well for her.
 * Also Onryu Sonozaki as an abusive grandmother, especcially to Shion. Planned on strangling her before her first bath, discards her by shipping her off to boarding school, and then decides to torture her just for being being with a boy from a family she hates through ripping her finger nails off. It comes as no surprise that Shion hates her (anything that reminds her of Onryu is a Berserk Button as seen in the cancelled Reality Breaking chapter). When Shion snaps in the Cotton Drifting and Eye Opening chapters, Onryu becomes her first victim. Best Grandmom ever.
 * Umineko no Naku Koro ni has the Ushiromiya Clan, who perfectly shows the generational effect of bad and abusive parenting.
 * The most obviously abusive parent is Rosa, who tends to lose patience with her daughter Maria quite often, and when she isn't verbally and physically abusive she is extremely neglectful, leaving the kid alone for days while she spends weekends in "work travels" (actually weekends with her lover). It's even noted that Social Services had been called, but they have their hands tied. Because Rosa alternates her abusive episodes with over-caring and spoiling ones, Maria has compartmentalized her mistreatment as the belied that her mommy is periodically possessed by an evil witch.
 * Rosa probably learned from her father Kinzo, who was constantly scornful of his four legitimate children and treated her specially badly.
