I honestly would have loved some kind of reasoning or explanation or even a platitude. Alright maybe not 'loved' but having a mentally ill parent I never knew what I actually did wrong to deserve being thrown to the ground and kicked and called stupid.
There is abuse due to poor upbringing of the parent.
And then there is torture.
