She called today wondering why we have not been talking much recently and I finally felt confident enough to ask for some time off, not just with her but with all of my family. She seemed to take this personally and accused...

Hi all, I haven't had consistent and/or positive interactions with my immediate family (mostly my mother) and mother's side of the family for about a year and a half now and, needless to say, Mother's Day has inspired lots of weird feelings. I initially choose to break with my immediate family...

I'm not sure where to begin, but I've never had a good relationship with my father. My parents were divoced when I was just one year old, and from what my mom tells me my dad was emotionally abusive to her, as he was to me.

This is further than I would go, because I think that some parents respond very well to liberty arguments, but it's an interesting article nonetheless... Notes from the New Underground Railroad By Gary Gibson There's a time when every liberty-loving person realizes that he must leave his family...
