Okay..This particular point annoys me quite a lot. Loads of novels have abusing or neglecting parents.
Why, why would they do that?
Yeah, some tension and maybe even a break up with the parents is okay, it's real, I would know, my parents are divorced. But please no abuse, or just make it subtle at least because you can't hide EVERYTHING behind make up.
Tip.
Observe your parents and base your characters attitude towards them (your attitude towards your parent's), their work and your parents work, flaws and disability's. The possibilities are endless <3
