* In bad fanfiction (especially of the [[Jerk Sue]] or [[Sympathetic Sue]] kind), one EXTREMELY common plot device is to make the parents of one of the characters physically, emotionally, sexually and/or mentally abusive, to throw said character in the arms of his/her True Love.
** Heck, even ''doujinshi'' use this cliché. In one of NEGAHYST Circle's ''[[The Prince of Tennis (Manga)|The Prince of Tennis]]'' dj, both [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|Masaharu Niou]] and his mother are routinely abused by Niou's alcoholic father (with said alcohol problems being nwhere found in canon since we barely know about niou's parents), and it's used as a flimsy plot device to make Niou [[Wangst]] and throw him in his partner [[Officer and A Gentleman|Hiroshi Yagyuu]]'s arms.
* [[Son of Apophis]], a ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' fanfic, takes the abuse Marik experiences to a whole new level. His father actually attempts to mute him.
* Pick any ''[[Naruto]]'' fan-fiction where Hiashi Hyuuga is a main or supporting character. In 90% of those works, he's shown as being verbally, psychologically, emotionally, and sometimes physically abusive toward Hinata; ''[[Team 8 (Fanfic)|Team 8]]'' is one example of all four types in action in the same story. (Ironically, the remaining 10% tend to portray him the way he was and currently is in canon--emotionally distant, but not such a bad guy once [[Character Development]] sets in.)
