Yes, you are missing something.

I also grew up with an angry verbally abusive alcoholic and nobody helped me.

Even if there is just yelling, screaming and anger it is incredibly
destructive to children who just want to have a safe home and stability.
I applaud WTBH for taking action on the children's behalf.

Nobody stepped up for me either, and here I am at 51
still sleeping with a pillow on my head just like I used to
to try and sleep "safely".

I used to do it to try and drown out the screaming.
Guess I still am.
