Even without the paranoid father, seeing your mother stabbed right in front of you, then being kidnapped and held against your will for 6 months is not something anyone will forget in a hurry. The training is just Corvo trying to ensure something like that doesn't happen again, especially since his advancing age means he's not always going to be able to keep her safe. Hell, he was there when Jessamine was attacked, and it didn't make much difference at all once he was neutralised. Probably blames himself for that, too.
