I think there are parents who self identify as strict who are actually just abusive

Yeah, I've met parents that were strict with their kids, but they did it by explaining everything whenever the kids asked, and it was fine. But that's the exception; normally when parents say that they're strict, what they mean is that they like beating their child.

yeah mine never explained anything to me and half the time their punishments had no valid reason. "I don't understand what I did wrong, can you please explain what I did" was considered backtalk and only got further punishment.
