What's the difference between being a strict parent, and an abusive parent?

A strict parent is in control of themselves.

An abusive parent is out of control.

A strict parent would be consistent with clear boundaries; abusive would be the opposite.

Unrelated things.

The difference is attentiveness. A strict parent bases their standards on the rules they perceive. Disciplining in the way they see as strict. To be strict, is to have control.

An abusive parent is one who inflicts their anger on to others from their own rage. Abuse is to inflict power and control by being domineering to the one who they inflict direct abuse on! Abuse is anger.
An abusive parent is a toxic parent, just for some, a broken parent. For others a work in progress.

The cruelty, Or lack of, in every day life.

Conservative and liberal.......................Conservative corrects their children if necessary with a smack on the ass, takes away something like internet privileges, grounds them or the car keys. An abusive parent aka liberal does nothing except maybe yell or make excuses for bad behavior and poor grades.

Strict is about rules.. abuse is about causing pain..
