Abusive Parents is a very common trope. This is the Inverted Trope; when the child is abusive to the parent, physically, sexually, financially, or emotionally. While these characters can be children and will usually be an Enfant Terrible who exhibits Troubling Unchildlike Behavior, a particularly extreme example of a Bratty Teenage Daughter, or simply someone that proves Teens Are Monsters, they may be an adult. In that case, such cruelty will often fall under Elder Abuse, although the parents can also be of any age. In rare cases, it may either be an inversion of Wicked Stepmother or a mistreatment of the Good Stepmother. This is closely related to Antagonistic Offspring, but the relationship is the direct opposite of abusive parents, be it an Evil Matriarch or an Archnemesis Dad. This is a much more severe, villainous form of that trope, and it's almost impossible to have a heroic character who is abusive, while antagonism can be justified, and (as with abusers in normal life), the abuser can be Affably Evil or (more likely) Faux Affably Evil. It's in fact common for antagonism to apply to an evil parent and to be justified as a heroic characteristic. Most of the time, the parents of the abusive offspring are often too terrified to disobey their demands which results in the Spoiled Brat child/offspring to quickly be lead into a position where they're superior to their parents. This may be motivated by hatred of the parent in question (or both of them), but that is not a requirement. In order to distinguish it from Calling the Old Man Out, it is important that this is at least shown to be a recurring trait or incident rather than just happening once. It may be that the abusive child has a Freudian Excuse relating to their own parent (who may themselves be abusive), but it's not necessary. The most sympathetic version will be acting out of revenge, determined to give the parent A Taste of Their Own Medicine. The natural conclusion is the Self-Made Orphan, but not all who fall under that trope will also be abusive, as it's common for them to be presented as "snapping" rather than as a cumulation of past behavior. Compare Big Brother Bully, and contrast Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas, when the mama is an exception to her son's reign of terror. Also contrast Double Standard: Violence, Child on Adult, which may also be applied to young abusive offspring. Will lead to Calling the Young Man Out if the parent has enough of the child's abusive behavior. When the offspring in question is a child, this may invoke (or be a part of) a Kids Versus Adults conflict. Unfortunately, this is very much Truth in Television. That being said, No Real Life Examples, Please! |

Desperate Housewives: Andrew was already starting to turn out this way towards Bree before Rex died; he kicked her when she got in the way of the TV and constantly criticising her. However, after Rex's death, he threatened to falsely accuse her of molestation and slept with her boyfriend because she wouldn't buy him a car. However, after she abandoned him at the end of Season 2 and he returned in Season 3, he became an inversion bordering on being an Extremely Protective Child. | |

The Simpsons: The minor recurring character Gavin is a Spoiled Brat who treats his mother like dirt, to the point of yelling at her to shut up. Homer Simpson combines this with Elder Abuse. He doesn't hate his father outright (and they do share the occasional sentimental moment), but he's generally characterized as deliberately neglectful and dismissive of Abe's feelings and well-being (contrast with how he treats his children, where he's also neglectful and dismissive, but more out of ineptitude and horrible impulse control). Most times we flashback to Homer's childhood shows that Abe was a pretty piss poor parent himself, so it's heavily implied Homer is negligent as a form of payback. "Love Is a Many Strangled Thing" has Bart Simpson becoming this to Homer after the latter undergoes a course of therapy to prevent him from strangling Bart, which results in him becoming afraid to discipline Bart at all. A Flashback Twist also shows that Homer's treatment of Abe has been going on since Homer was himself a child. |

Danny Phantom: Stranded: Downplayed. Colette Bevier is not openly emotionally or verbally abusive to her father, biological mother, and stepmother(s), but is not above lying to and manipulating them by acting like a loving daughter to get what she wants. It's eventually apparent that she has no real love for her current stepmother, Stella, and only sees her as a means to an end. This is best shown in "Dressed", where Colette notices her stepmother is feeling distressed after an argument with Star (Stella's biological daughter and Colette's stepsister) and shows no concern for her emotional well-being, rather deciding to take this as another opportunity to manipulate her and becoming angry when Stella is too upset to take the bait. She later even refers to Stella as her father's "stupid wife that turned him against her" in "Traveled". In "Blackmailed", it's revealed that Colette is secretly in contact with not only her mother, but all of her previous stepmothers. She pretends to care about them by calling each of them her "favorite stepmother" and takes advantage of their failed marriages to her father in order to gain sympathy and use them for her plans. This proves that Colette never truly cared about any of her stepmothers, only what she could get from them. She is even anticipating adding Stella to the list once Jean-Luc inevitably divorces her. |

However, after Chloe manages to escape at the end, it jumps forward several years and reveals that Diane is in a prison hospital where Chloe visits her. It then ends with Chloe feeding Diane the same pills, which presumably have an equally horrific effect on her body. | |

Kanami beats up her mother Saeko whenever she didn't submit to her demands. One day, when Saeko ran out of money and couldn't give her any, Kanami threw a vase on her, knocking her out and putting her in the hospital. Her father Norio destroyed the evidence with her help.

Archer: Sterling Archer's Beleaguered Assistant Woodhouse was an Alfred Pennyworth-style Parental Substitute to him, as his father wasn't in the picture and his mother Malory was, well, Malory. In spite of this, Archer belittles and abuses him constantly as he endures it all with a Stiff Upper Lip. As the setting's a World of Jerkass, it's shown at times that this is actually payback for his often heroin-induced Parental Neglect of Archer in his childhood. | |

Superboy-Prime became this to his parents after he was finally returned to Earth-Prime at the end of Legion of 3 Worlds. They and his girlfriend Laurie were following his story throughout various DC comics on their world, showing his descent into supervillainy and the billions of people he murdered in his quest to find "the perfect Earth." As a result, they were naturally horrified when he came back. Blackest Night showed his parents living in fear of him and trying to keep him happy. Though he claims he loves them, they still refer to something he did to Laurie which he claims was an accident. | |

Law & Order: "Pride and Joy" is centered on this, as a murdered superintendent is found to have been the victim of emotional and physical abuse from his son, a scholarship kid to a private school who was embarrassed to have to shoulder the burden of having a "low class" father. In another episode, "Hate", Anita picks up on the meek, timid demeanor of a suspect's mother and quietly asks her, "Does he hit you?" The woman confirms this in the typical "It's my fault" manner of many domestic violence victims—"If I get in the way." | |

Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs is the youngest child of the Sinclair family and can be quite troublesome. Anytime he shares screentime with Earl, his father, expect Baby to bludgeon him while screaming his war-cry of "NOT THE MAMA!", especially if it's a frying pan. | |

ATTACK on MIKA: Marin, a girl genius, abuses her father Hiroshi for being a middle-school dropout. Aika, bullies her father Kazuo for no discernible reason. Knowing Kazuo is actually sterile and he decided to raise her anyway, it's probable that his wife Miho influenced Aika into it. Komoru is a NEET who leeches off his mother Ayaka, going as far as stealing from her just to win a raffle, and even beating her when she complains. |

Splice: Elsa and Clive are both abusive to their "daughter" Dren, with whom Elsa broke her own rules by using her own DNA to create her. They lock her in a barn constantly and refuse to let her socialize with others, along with being emotionally abusive, and Clive has (apparently consensual) sex with Dren, which falls under Questionable Consent given that he is essentially her stepfather. However, experiencing violent aggression as she grows older, Dren turns male and violently rapes Elsa, impregnating her. | |

Velma: When she was younger, Velma Dinkley was a huge Enfant Terrible who frequently hit her mother, called her an "old bag", and damaged her belongings. She also fights with her father, behaves aggressively and cynically toward him, and locks him, Amanda, and Sophie out of the house so she can watch TV with her mother. | |

The Boondocks: In one episode, Robert comes across a small white boy having a tantrum in the supermarket while directing an amount of verbal abuse at his mother that would give even Eric Cartman pause. Robert then encourages the mother to follow in his footsteps, handing her his signature belt. Another episode revolved around eight-year-old Lamilton Taeshawn, a sociopathic Enfant Terrible Riley befriends who assaulted his grandmother for not buying him the fried chicken he wanted. |

The Whale: Ellie had been abandoned by her father when she was 8 years old; only now, when he's dying, does he want to reconnect with her. That said, she steals from and is sporadically physically abusive towards her mother. She also physically abuses her disabled father, throwing away his walking frame and drugging him (which could have killed him due to his illnesses), cyberbullying him by shaming him online, and being constantly belligerent and demeaning to him, both for his weight and sexuality. She also shows no remorse for any of this. | |

Tekken: Already infamous for being one of the most iconic Abusive Parents in media, Heihachi Mishima also extends his abuse to his own father, Jinpachi, as well. In the backstory of Tekken 5, Heihachi seals his father under the Hon-Maru, causing him to starve to death and get possessed by a vengeful spirit. Things don't get any better in Heihachi's ending in the game, where Heihachi straps his father, alongside his son Kazuya and grandson Jin Kazama, to the tip of a rocket and has the three of them launched into outer space while Heihachi himself looks from a distance and laughs at their fate. | |

When an enraged Joe goes home and confronts his elderly, Alzheimer's-stricken father (who is implied to have impregnated Nurse Bendy when she was just thirteen) about what he's learned, he ends up beating his dad to a pulp as his older half-sister listens on in the other room. | |

In Jade Empire, the last sidequest for Gravedigger Shen involves tracking down the elder Tanner Fong, who left the graveyard and took refuge in his son, the younger Tanner Fong's, house. Talking to the elder Fong reveals that his son tried to have him buried alive, and he's not actually dead. In the end, it turns out that both men are to blame for the breakdown of their father-son relationship and can be persuaded to reconcile, but that's a horrific thing to do to one's father. | |

Supernanny: Numerous episodes from this series, as well as its sister show Nanny 911, show the parents being afraid of their own children as their tantrums and bad behavior worsen; fortunately, Jo always manages to set things right when she shows up. In the case of the Baulisch family, the younger children are extremely abusive to their deaf parents and hearing elder sister. The younger children take full advantage of the fact their parents can't hear and make their elder sister's life a living hell before Jo arrives. Among the things Ashlyn and Alaia Wischmeyer do to their parents are kick, bite, and slap them in the face. |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Rui, the Lower Rank 5 of the Twelve Kizuki, establishes a makeshift family of demons, with himself as the youngest son, rather than the patriarch, and his "parents" and "siblings" drinking his blood and gaining spider-like demonic abilities from him. The reason why he set up his family this way was so that, according to the belief that parents protect their children and older siblings would protect younger ones, his family would exist to protect him. He ended up being horrifically abusive to his family, torturing them for their failures and, in the anime, having one member burned to death in the sunlight. | |

Tatiana herself is also shown to be emotionally abusive, though, and Villanelle denies that her father was scared of her, so it's highly ambiguous. | |
