well..... now english translation is out, there are actually translation differences ,which makes the context a bit different.

The Chinese translation is "i often get beaten by people i like", "sorry mum, i dont want it anymore!" ,kinda suggesting that he was asking something he wants but got punished for it .Even he is with the people he love, he has to force himself to be selfless, not to burden or upset other people , especially his  single and overworked mother ,so everyone can get through difficult time. (this is like the first thing Japanese parents taught their kids, 'dont give other people trouble')

Where as the English translation is "I really was beaten a lot by the people i love the most", "Mum, sorry, I dont need any thing"  suggesting he was heavily abused and developed some kind of  Stockholm syndrome, and starts to develop contempt for his own life.

I dont know.... anyway i dont want to rule out the possiblity that kaneki mum was abusive. (it makes the story interesting just as well)

just saying, maybe it is too soon to tell? I mean there were many time my older brother had done something terrible, he usually got beaten shitless by my dad. i can tell he was really terrified at the time. But i wouldnt call my dad abusive, it' not like he wanted to hurt him or anything.
