The problem is it's often difficult to admit you had abusive parents, and abusive parents love to describe themselves as just strict. So yeah it's kinda a euphemism

Oof, that's a sobering realization.

Yeah. And a lot of parental abuse happens in gray areas and with good intentions. Sure you have obvious cases, and they're common enough I'd suspect most people know someone or another who was a victim to one. But there's a hell of a lot of parents projecting their fears, traumas, or other issues relating to their kids onto them hard enough to fuck them up.

Also, when you are raised with abuse then it is hard to recognize abuse.
