All parents are abusive because parenting is abusive by nature.
When it comes to the parents who neglect and beat their kids (which I have experience with) it's just a matter of degree.
All parents are abusive for the same reasons that all governments are abusive, all cooperation are abusive, all bosses are abusive, and all monarchies are abusive.
I don't understand how people can disapprove of child-adult romantic relationships but also approve of parenting.
They're both bad for much of the same reasons (children can't consent, children are vulnerable even in consensual relationships, e.t.c).
It's probably just a literal teenager and/or gay/trans person who hates their conservative parents (understandable but I think we need to avoid creating "theory" solely to address personal problems that aren't shared by the majority of proles.)
I think this is a problem which all of the proles share, because they all have parents.
"The family" is where everyone experiences abuse and exploitation for the first time because it is the first place where people experience violence-backed authority based hierarchies, power through private property ownership (over the household) and social conditioning in order to be forced into your role in the capitalist system.

Of course, there are obvious non-marxist related reasons as to why biological parents should not automatically be the people to raise their children.
I haven't seen a single parent-child relationship that I can call healthy. I look at how most parents and children are really unstable with one-another, and I think "if these guys were a romantic couple, they would have broken up by now". But, unlike with romantic couples, parents can not break up with their children (until the child is old enough that they can be kicked out, sometimes as low as 16), and children cannot break up with their parents.

For the record, I'm not the anarchist who made the original post on /anarchism/.
I'm not an anarchist, but I do agree with the post, which is why I reposted it here where it would get more attention.
Seriously, you don't have to be an anarchist to see how disturbing and nonsensical parent-child relationships are.

What exactly is disturbing about it?

I described it in my previous posts

How is it disturbing? That’s like saying birth is disturbing.
