"Assuming" is indeed the appropriate term. Since we've never actually seen Scootaloo's parents on-screen we assume there's something highly dysfunctional going on in her family. But on the other side of that coin, we've never actually seen anything to indicate to us beyond doubt that her family is anything other than normal. Personally, I believe that the fact that we never see her parents is not attributed to any fault on their part but rather to the fact that Scootaloo herself has such an independent and free-spirited personality that she simply does not need or want someone foalsitting her constantly. I still maintain my prediction that if/when we finally see Scootaloo's parents it will be similar to when we've met Fluttershy's and Rainbow's parents and they will simply suddenly appear in an episode as if they have been in the show the entire series.
