I grew up in a house like this. I wish I knew this before I raised mine. While I was not as bad as my mother I still escalated fights and the outcome was never good.
I have apologized to my children when I think I was wrong and I do think that can go a long way as well.
I feel very lucky my kids turned out as well as they did.

I would say an abusive parenting style would be least effective. That would include being passively abusive and neglectful - or actively abusive. Authoritarian parenting would also qualify as abusive.
So would parenting characterized by favoritism. So terribly damaging.
Just thought of Prince Harry and how it must have been terrible as a kid to be labeled the expendable extra. Talk about parents playing favorites!
