Abuse

All created things refuse to be for me as ends. --- Simone WeilThe move to Hafeld coincided with the onset of intense father-son conflicts caused by Hitler's refusal to conform to the strict discipline of his school.[23] His father beat him, although his mother tried to protect him.[24]R. 26. Maí, 2020. Wikipedia.org.
from ab "off, away from" (see ab-) + uti "use" (see use). E.g. Latin abusus "a using up". 1570s as "violation, defilement".Etymonline?
Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of an entity, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in many forms, such as physical or verbal maltreatment, injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices, crimes, or other types of aggression: e.g. parental abuse (child-to-parent violence), child abuse (adult-to-child violation) or animal abuse. The history of human thought is composed of motions both against and for abuse, although chiefly against it. The chiefly most influential authors in human history have been per the central documents associated with them been against at least their notion of abuse, which indeed the modern notions cannot but somehow derive from because of their massive historical influence. Possibly the most influential author in history, Plato devotes much of his discourse to rhetoric against abuse. Philosophically, abuse is error, a mistake and a wrong, since it goes against what is correct and correctness is derived from what is contrary to abusiveness: the Good. 
Parental abuse, the abuse of the power of parenthood, is a form of caretaker abuse. It is tragically widespread. The sufferers are children. "The verbal abuse that Pierre was experiencing as a caregiver for someone with dementia..."
=== History ===
"Societies that were heavily burdened with pain inflicting, pleasure destroying and sex-repressive rituals and social institutions developed inevitable sadism and violence, which welled up inside individuals and entire cultures. Such emotive content was typically scapegoated and periodically expressed in the outbreak of aggressive wars or ethnic genocides. These relationships as detailed by Reich for Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union (Reich 1945, 1946, 1953a) were systematically evaluated and confirmed in later years, by two separate and robust cross-cultural studies applying standard ethnographic data as widely used for social theory testing. (Prescott 1975, DeMeo 1986, 1991, 2006) The largest of these studies, undertaken at the University of Kansas by DeMeo (1986, 2006), reviewed 63 different variables for over 1100 individual world cultures, and revealed a high degree of positive correlation for factors predicted by Reich’s theory to be coherent and causally associated. High-violence societies are characterized by high levels of infant trauma, child-abuse, sexual repression and subordination of women. Low-violence societies have low levels of trauma, abuse and repression, with a more equal status for women."«In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: An Open Response to Nature and the Scientific /Medical Community» by DeMeo J., et al.
