Line 19:
If a parent has just dumped the child, for whatever reason, that's [[Parental Abandonment]]; if they just aren't paying much attention, that's [[Parental Neglect]]. Contrast [[Mama Bear]] or [[Papa Wolf]] (where ''others'' abuse the children and the parents abuse the abusers). Also Contrast [[Good Parents]]. [[Abusive Precursors]] can be considered this on a metaphorical level. See [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]] for when this is [[Exaggerated Trope|cranked up to absurd levels]] and [[Dude, Not Funny|played for laughs]]. See [[Evil Matriarch]] and [[Archnemesis Dad]] for characters who will take this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
Unfortunately, '''Abusive Parents''' are often [[Truth in Television]]. It is horrible that children suffer cruelties at the hands of those who are supposed to be the most loving and trustworthy figures in their lives. And the damage can take years to undo, even with competent assistance (if it can be undone at all - often, the emotional scars will stay forever). If you are concerned this may describe you or someone you love, please take it very seriously. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20131103230439/http://www.helpguide.org/mental/child_abuse_physical_emotional_sexual_neglect.htm this help guide] for some [[Real Life]] information and organizations to contact. Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20190821123132/http://www.chiworld.org/ Chiworld] has an international list of hotlines and websites you can contact if you need to discuss abuse or other issues in your life.
