He has nothing but scorn for his eldest son Roy, who elected to take up the family [[Ancestral Weapon]] as a [[Genius Bruiser|Fighter]], and favors his spoiled [[Alpha Bitch|Libby]] of a daughter instead. Oh, and his second son? The fact that he ignored Roy's pleading led to his death.
** So much so that when {{spoiler|Roy dies, he offers his father a bargain: Roy will only cooperate if his father agrees to go away and leave the entire family alone for eternity. For double points, Daddy jumps on the bargain and scoffs that Roy made his price so low.}}

** Haley's father seems to have crippled her ability to interact with others honestly due to the paranoia that came as a result of living as a member of the Thieves' Guild. Whereas Roy seems to have risen above his father's abuse except for his [[Deadpan Snarker|habit of insulting people]], Haley is still pretty messed up.
*** Ian meant well, but had different, rather [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|family unfriendly]] values he tried to teach to his daughter. From what little we know of him, it seems they love each other very much.
Line 26:
* Marena from ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' had a mother with... interesting ideas on parenting. Marena [http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0317.html a long list] of things to forgive her for.
* [[Persona 4|Ryotaro Dojima]] in the ''[[Peachi]]'' comics comes off as one, in a type we cannot peg yet... but he's an [[Comedic Sociopathy|amusing raging psychopath of a father/uncle]]

* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'': Damien ended up making himself a sort of twisted father figure to Grace and her brothers, but there is nothing "fatherly" about him at all. He is an abuser pure and simple, able to control his "children" through fear and constantly hitting them whenever they displease him. And like any parent whose children are young enough, he's too powerful for them to do anything about it.
** Also, he intended to use Grace for breeding so he would have been a sexual abuser as well.
Line 34:

* In ''[[Last Res0rt]]'': Jason's mother is revealed [http://www.lastres0rt.com/2011/01/how-to-leave-out-a-punchline/ in this flashback] as a rather vicious (and at least physically abusive) Djinn. The fact that Jason has held onto his Mother's jacket so tightly ever since indicates some serious [[Parental Issues]]...
