Sometimes the villain in a work hits much closer to home than the hero would expect - it's their parent. Yes, the parent who we've seen throughout the movie, book or show, doing their usual parent stuff and being seemingly a good guy, only to turn out to be evil all along. Can be very shocking if pulled off right. This also refers to when a character's previously unseen parent is revealed to be evil. Not the same as Luke, I Am Your Father, which is basically the inverse - the villain (who was previously shown) is suddenly revealed to be the parent, rather than the other way around.

See also Parental Abandonment. Offing the Offspring can either ensue after this, or be the way this trope is revealed. Examples of Parental Betrayal include:
