It is sad, and hard to imagine. And even though this is the extreme side, its actually very common.
Had a teammate in Pee-Wee who was always really quiet, and almost awkward before games. He was one of the best players on our team and would score 4 goals and his Dad would be ripping into him as they went to the car. I remember thinking thats why he's so good, he has no choice. Scary stuff though in hindsight.
