** Azula, Zuko's little sister, is also an example, at least in her own mind: "My own mother...thought I was a monster." She tries to laugh it off at the time, but this perception of her relationship with her mother {{spoiler|contributes heavily to her [[Villainous Breakdown]] in the series finale}}.
*** Except in her own mind {{spoiler|her perception of her mother says that she always loved Azula}}. And in an earlier flashback she told Zuko to play with Azula, so it's not like she thought Azula should be shunned.
**** Ursa ''did'' love Azula. She was simply concerned about her budding little sociopath of a daughter. We see nothing in her onscreen behavior that says she thought Azula was "a monster". Can't help but wonder where the kid got the idea. Perhaps Ozai told her a few stories about "what your mother said when you weren't around" so he could guarantee that he was Azula's [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Guy]]. Also, it's possible {{spoiler|that "perception" was saying what Azula wanted it to say, not what she believed the real Ursa actually ''would'' say}}, and she knew it, which is why she got so upset. [[Word of God]] pretty much confirms [[http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll305/Maylene-Autumn/Sozins<!-- 20Comet20Novel%20Comet%20Novel/scan0033.jpg this]] -->
** Ozai himself, father of both of the above, used to be this too. After his older brother Iroh's son died, his father ordered him to kill Zuko to let him know what it feels like. To put this into perspective, though, Fire Lord Azulon only ordered this after Ozai tried to use his nephew's death as an excuse to steal his brother's birthright, and after he openly scoffed at Iroh's grief for his lost son causing him to abandon the siege of Ba Sing Se. Still...ouch! Let's face it, [[Royally Screwed Up|that whole family is a mess.]]
*** Except for Ursa and Iroh. Zuko eventually matured and [[Calling the Old Man Out|said 'screw you' to Ozai.]]
