The biggest fear I ever dealt with was fear of violence from my parents. The last episode of violence I was in my early 20s and it happened in front of my two daughters. Even when dad was dying, I was feeding him and apparently was too fast. He snapped at me and I backed away with the quickness. It didn't matter that we had worked through a lot and he was physically unable to hurt me anymore. It was just reflex on my part...that certain tone of voice and I went into flight mode.
Dad's been gone 14 years and I cut contact with mom about 20 years ago.
The threats were removed.
