* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': Elven companion Sera ''intensely'' hates her deceased [[spoiler:human noble]] foster mother, who started Sera's InternalizedCategorism over being one of Thedas' EnslavedElves due to HonorRelatedAbuse. Sera becomes intensely angry just talking about her, and throws out words like "bitch" and "monster" to describe her.

And with all Sera's hatred towards her, part of her knows that she didn't mean it and that she mourns that she never managed to reconcile with her before she died.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Uryu, who doesn't outright hate his father Ryuken but doesn't exactly have a loving relationship with him, either. Ryuken is distant and cold even at the best of times, and though he does care for Uryu he's terrible at showing it.

* Rainbow Dash in ''Fanfic/{{Alicorn}}'' ''can'' be civil with Celestia, her mother, as long as Celestia doesn't say anything that triggers her trauma, but she resents her deeply. This is because Celestia was unable to handle having a child when Rainbow was born, and ended up giving her up for adoption, which is the root cause of Rainbow Dash's inferiority complex because she's under the impression that not even her mother wanted her. Celestia wanting to reconnect does not make things worse, Rainbow's self-image issues making it impossible for her to see that Celestia loves her, and her newfound royalty has both strained her relationship with her friends and more or less ruined all her future prospect, which she understandably blames Celestia for.
