Line 3: ** To a lesser extent, it's heavily implied that Riff's mom, Dr. Lorna, deeply screwed him up when he was a kid. If she treated him anything like how she treats every other human being on the planet, then it's amazing he's not an even [[Mad Scientist\|madder scientist]] than he is now. * Leeza's father, Admiral Blake, in ''[[Terinu]]'' is implied to have merely been an Absent Parent when she was growing up. Now that she's an adult he's rebounded into a [[Manipulative Bastard]], getting her fired when she thwarted his plans for Teri, sticking her with the boy's guardianship so he could still keep an eye on them both, culminating in arresting her and sending her to ''prison'' when she threatened to go public with the news that humanity wiped out Terinu's race. * ''[[~~The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)\|~~The Order of the Stick]]'': The only way in which Roy's father seems to care ''at all'' for either of his children is the extent to which they follow in his footsteps as a wizard. 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.}} {{quote\| '''Roy Greenhilt''': I don't know what's more depressing: That you agreed to that so easily, or that I knew that you would when I proposed it.}} 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 14: * Jacquline's father in ''[[Samurai Princess]]''. * Poor, poor [[Slightly Damned\|Kieri Suizahn]]. The comic here shows that her mother was more than someone who simply chastised her (as seen in an earlier comic), although one can argue this also crosses over with Emotional Abuse in some areas. [http://www.sdamned.com/2010/08/08212010/\] * {{spoiler\|Veser's father}} in ''[[Hanna Is Not a ~~Boys~~Boy's Name]]'' has been revealed to have beaten him from a young age. * {{spoiler\|[[Jared]]'s father, and possibly his mother as well}} beat him throughout his life. All pictures of him as a child show him with bruises and scars all over his face. He ended up as a {{spoiler\|[[Self-Made Orphan]]}}. * Quain'tana from ''[[~~Drow Tales~~Drowtales]]'' has a virtual laundry list of all the horrible things she's done to her children: Syphile: physically beating her, verbally berating her and handing her over as a plaything to [[Torture Technician\|Sil'lice]]. Mel'arnach: Imprisoning her and having her beaten for disobeying, and it's also implied that she had her men rape her in an attempt to conceive an heir. {{spoiler\|She also took Mel's child, Ariel, to raise as her own daughter}}. Line 25: * Luna Travoria from ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' was emotionally abused by her mother in hopes that she would commit suicide while a knight was visiting, ensuring a hefty payout from the government. * 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 ~~(Video Game)~~\|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]] {{quote\| ''Hey, no need to be so formal. '''I've seen you NAKED'''''}} * Kenta Fujiwara in ''[[Red String]]'' is a domneering force in his son's life, he has [https://web.archive.org/web/20110810194554/http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=964 called Kazuo useless] on [https://web.archive.org/web/20110906111337/http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=3205 more that one occasion], which has let deep scars on [https://web.archive.org/web/20110810232112/http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=968 Kazuo's pschye]. He has also hit Kazuo [https://web.archive.org/web/20110811152927/http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=963 at least] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110907032812/http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=2641 twice]. Kazuo has been shown taking some sort of medication in some comics, which are widely believed to be self proscribed anti-depressents and {{spoiler\|1=Kazuo uses them to [http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=3258 attempt suicide] at the end of Chapter 43}}. * ''[[~~El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)\|~~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. * [[Grey Is ~~(Webcomic)~~...\|Grey Is]]: {{spoiler\|Black}} got severely beaten by someone in his home right up until he graduated from high school and moved away with White. We are not told directly but it is implied that the one abusing him was his dad. * ''[[~~Homestuck (Webcomic)\|~~Homestuck]]'' has a few variations on this theme; the most extreme is probably Vriska Serket's [[Giant Spider\|guardian]], which forces her to capture hundreds of other children to [[Horror Hunger\|feed it]], but others include Dave's [[Parental Substitute\|Bro]] (regularly beats the crap out of him and fills the apartment with creepy puppet porn) and Gamzee's lusus (just [[Parental Abandonment\|never there]]). It's unclear whether Rose's mom is actually the master of [[Passive-Aggressive Kombat]] that Rose makes her out to be or if she's honestly trying to connect with her, but either way she's [[The Alcoholic\|perpetually drunk]] and on the negligent side. ** Later, someone managed to beat Vriska's lusus to the "Worst Parent of the Year" award: {{spoiler\|Doc Scratch, in caring for [[The Woobie\|Aradia]]'s ancestor the Handmaid. He keeps her locked in a tiny room, and when she gets out of line, he ''teleports her to outer space''}}. * Averted in [[The Undead\|Rotting]] [[Professional Killer\|Johnny's]] of [[Zokusho Comics]] case. He apparently came from a fairly normal family. * [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]] Jacquline from ''[[Samurai Princess]]'' has some family issues that mix abuse and abandonment. * In ''[[Bridges]]'', Quinn's parents force her to portray a certain image to enhance her dad's political career, and they are insensitive to what she wants. * Implied with Cabbage in ''[[~~Cucumber Quest (Webcomic)\|~~Cucumber Quest]]''; he certainly is a [[Jerkass]]. * In ''[[No Rest for The Wicked (~~Webcomic~~webcomic)\|No Rest for The Wicked]]'', [http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/03-09.html Claire broadly implies that the parents of a village are this -- their children are lost because they don't deserve to keep them.] [http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/03-10.html Under circumstances where this is taken as a confession of serial child killing.] * In ''[[Last ~~Res 0 rt~~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]]... ''[[Rain (webcomic)\|Rain]]'' has a lot: Marcus Flaherty, Rain's father. Norman and Donna Strongwell, Rudy and Maria's parents. {{spoiler\|Donna is eventually redeemed}}. Rain's grandparents. Ana's mom Emily's mom Heather and Ky's parents ''[[Dumbing of Age]]'' has many abusive parents, including: Carol Brown Linda Walkerton Ross MacIntyre Blaine O'Malley {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Abusive Parents~~{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Webcomics~~{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]
