I have bickered with my mother but how can a man be so angry that he stabs her?

I bickered with my mother when I as a teenager, then I grew up, and look to my mother/father as a role model!

Let me guess: she asked him to get off his butt and actually help out around the house?
And check out the related article to the right-> "57-year-old man arrested for killing 92-year-old father"!
I have a bad feeling this is going to become commonplace, what with the rapidly aging population and all.

"I bickered with my mother when I as a teenager, then I grew up, and look to my mother/father as a role model!" Yeah, and I also moved out and started a life on my own before I was 20.
