Highly significant in my view. It sounds to me like these deeply troubled people are disconnecting from external forces that stir their hatred and emotions, and instead are focusing on their internal conflicts which arise from their distorted upbringings and are taking it out (sadly, obviously) on those closest to them. Keeping abuse within the house so to speak. Amateur psych but that's my suspicion.
