were your parents totally bananas?!?

ok, so i admit that there were times growing up where i wished i could make my parents disappear- maybe they'd get a little loud at a softball game or tell a weird story at a party... but never did they humiliate me or endanger my life like some of the weirdos you read about these days...
i saw this article in my local news- a woman went to her child's chuck-e-cheese birthday day party with a knife and a brick to attack the father and his new girlfriend... growing up i never encountered ANYTHING this bizarre... was it that the family unit was more intact in my youth (i'm now 28 y/o) so we didnt have baby-daddies in the rapid rate we do now? is our culture becoming more aggressive? or is it an illusion that there is an increase because it is easier to access news from not just you local venues but all around the world?

does anyone else cringe when the read things like this?
did you actually experience stuff like this growing up?
