I greatly appreciate your comment. I often feel alone with my opinions on hackernews. You are completely right, what you are describing is a case of emotional manipulation (using anger as a tool to increase compliance) and bad parenting can even go all the way to emotional terrorism (causing intense feelings of guilt if one does not do what the parents want). Whether it's physical or psychological harm - the usage of such methods displays lack of emotional maturity and patience in parents.
