I’m interesting in reading a fiction book where the main characters have issues with parents being the worst, either mother figure or father figure. The parents can be a main conflict or something on the side, just interested in reading the worst parents in fiction.

The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K Jemisin has to be a strong contender
Shuggie Bain
Pat Conroy writes some great complicated toxic parent books
We need to talk about Kevin
Carrie
Second Child by John Saul
Straff Venture from the Mistborn books is definitely a contender for worst father
He >!hired a peasant prostitute to teach his teenage son Elend how to be a “real man”, then had her executed immediately after because the law says that that’s what you have to do to peasants who sleep with nobles, and didn’t bother to tell Elend about that until after the fact!<. And that only scratches the surface of the things he’s done
