Anyway, this conversation is pretty much resolved.

I'd say to not write his father as abusive until it is said or implied specifically in the show.

The Simpsons is a good example (with the exception of Homer and Bart's occasional violence against each other) of a modern dysfunctional family. Live-action shows like Modern Family, Married...With Children, The Middles, Malcolm in the Middle, and Breaking Bad also show prime examples of dysfunctual (some more than others) families too.
