Be it from Abusive Parents or a more general tormentor, a character has suffered at the hands of another. In the course of the story, that tormentor is taken out of the equation. Either the character Grew a Spine, or simply became a Self-Made Orphan, or another option entirely. In the end, their abuser is gone. Only the place where the abuse occurred now remains. Alternatively, the place may evoke bad memories for an entirely separate reason. It may be the place where a loved one died or the sight of some traumatic event. Either way, the scars remain, and that's where this trope comes in. To Destroy the Abusive Home is a form of In-Universe Catharsis for the character, and possibly the audience as well, where we see the place where these horrible incidents occurred being destroyed. If not by the abused character's hand, then by the one who saved them from the abuse with their bearing witness or in their memory. Compare Where I Was Born and Razed, which can end up happening by accident and which can also be a large-scale version of this. Can be related to Burn the Orphanage if it was an Orphanage of Fear. See also Let the Past Burn, an Ending Trope that can overlap with this one. |

Forest Kingdom: In the Hawk & Fisher spinoff series' book 1, the DeFerrier house had a very unpleasant set of previous owners. One of the suspects in the case has been trying to buy the house off its newest owner, and it's later discovered that he is in fact the last DeFerrier, trying to buy the house so he can burn it down. | |

Riverdale: Cheryl destroys the Blossom mansion in an attempt to Let the Past Burn. She lies to everyone that a knocked down candle by the breeze caught the curtains, and that Penelope got burnt because she tried to save her own daughter, when in reality, she ran back into the house to save a "hideous family portrait". Cheryl threatens her own mother that if she ever tells the truth, she will show everyone how her husband died. | |

In I, Claudius (and in real life as told by Seneca) Caligula had the house on the island of Pandataria where his mother Agrippina was imprisoned and eventually died thanks to his uncle Tiberius destroyed when he became emperor, which resulted in a bit of the Streisand Effect since prior to this no one had paid the house any attention, but after seeing the ruins naturally became curious as to what had occurred there. | |

An American Crime: The ultimate fate of the real-life Baniszewski home featured in the film. While plans were made to restore the house as a shelter for abused girls, funding fell through, with many in the community blaming a lack of donations on the location being too heavily overshadowed by the murder. Two years after the film's release and almost forty-five years after Sylvia's murder, the house was finally demolished. The site is now a church parking lot. | |

In The Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon opened up a little bit to Beth Greene while scavenging in a dumpy shack. He was physically abused by a drunk father as a child, and clearly the setting was bringing back some very unpleasant memories for him. At the end of the episode, they use a stash of moonshine they found to light the place on fire — symbolically burning down his childhood home and previous life. | |

My Hero Academia: Tomura Shigaraki grew up in an upper-class family as Tenko Shimura, enduring his father Kotaro's physical and emotional abuse over his dream to become a hero. Once his Quirk, Decay, manifests, his panicking over its effects leads to his entire family being killed. When he reaches out to his father for help, Kotaro continues to reject him out of fear and injures him with a weed whacker, causing Tenko to snap and kill him in retaliation, decimating the entire Shimura household in the process. Chapter 410 reveals that his ultimate goal to destroy everything that led to the creation of the Shimura household is to decay Japan itself to a hole in the ocean just to ensure recovery is literally impossible. Later done during the Liberation War arc, but not by the abused. When League of Villains members Dabi and Toga Himiko arrive at Toga's childhood home, Dabi decides to torch the place for her in an effort to leave the past behind. Toga herself is happy to see it go since she associates the house with memories of her parents desperately trying to suppress her using her Quirk and treating her like a monster. To be fair, the parents weren't without reason since she had an unnatural fixation with blood, but their solution only made her feel more isolated and completely ignored her worsening mental state. |

One Piece features this in the final moments of Luffy's battle with Arlong. Luffy recognizes that the building they're fighting in has been Nami's jail cell, and resolves to destroy it. As he starts punching holes into the walls, an onlooking Nami recognizes the gesture for what it is and silently thanks Luffy as her tears start flowing. As an added bonus, Luffy does so by smashing Arlong through the floors of the tower, destroying Arlong Park and knocking Arlong totally unconscious. | |

Code Geass: This is definitely Lelouch's motivation for fighting against Britannia. He was born and raised in an aristocratic, totalitarian empire, which gets its kicks from invading other countries and subjugating them to their will. His father, the Emperor, didn't really care about what happens to its inhabitants, either, or seemingly to his own mother when she's brutally murdered and his sister crippled, so when he gets a chance to disrupt things and wreck their shit he very much enjoys it. | |

Messages for Dad: After witnessing a vid revealing Angron's past on Nuceria, and the inhumanly horrific treatment of slaves on that world in general, the Emperor and all the Primarchs take time out of the Great Crusade to burn that world to the ground, punish the Highriders, free the slaves, and track down Angron's son, Ragio. They also transport the freed slaves to a new planet, with the implication that it will become the primary recruiting world for the World Eaters Legion. The whole thing is as much about closure for Angron as it is an apology for failing to help him before then. | |

In Shadows Over Loathing, Molly, upon returning to Grey County, immediately goes to her old home and riddles everything in sight with tommy-gun fire, muttering about how she hated it and wanted to leave the whole time she lived there. Luckily the place was deserted. It's a real dump, with a tumbledown house and barn, an old truck rusting away in the backyard, and a dirty great oil derrick the Big Bad set up (that's new, but Molly blows away its control box all the same). | |

In Lily's Well, the Omega Ending of the game involves the real Lily burning down her childhood home that the other versions of Lily had been repeatedly observed in, along with ensuring it reaches all the way into the secret laboratory underneath, to ensure that none of the research can be abused by anyone else. Likely even killing the mutated, monster Lily versions, giving them a Mercy Kill. | |
