Hi all, I'm Anton - this is my first post on FDR . Some of you have probably been in this situation before and I'd be very grateful if you could share your experiences, good or bad. The basic conflict is this: My dad is a total jerk & "bore" most of the time and always tries to...

I'm pondering this question, which I'd like to have your input on: am I using or exploiting my mother? The situation is this: for the past few months (3 to 6) we've been meeting quasi-regularly and chatting about my upbringing, how I viewed her, what problems I have currently and such. You...

I'll never forget the night I stopped my mom dead in her tracks when my two year old son didn't want to wear a jacket on our way outside. "you're such a bad boy"; "you stop that right there! He's not a bad boy, he's a good boy who doesn't want to wear a jacket right...

When I express my desire to not hit, verbally abuse or shame my children, I'm treated like a freak at family gatherings; everyone tiptoes around the subject, trying not to give me a reason to talk about it. On top of that, since when is not lying such a revolutionary idea? People act like I'm...

I appreciate what you're saying, thankyou. All I have wanted to do is to talk about things that are interesting to me and that I'm passionate about. I've just gotten off of the phone with my Dad after a 45 minute conversation of him telling me how I've been indoctrinated by Molyneux and...

All hopped up on a whole weekend in the presence of like-minded individuals at Libertopia (except for that lawyer in the mask... Perry Mason WTF?!?) my wife, Kelly, and I both made great strides towards real honesty with our FOOs. A few weeks ago Kelly put up a post on her blog explaining why we don't...

Hello everybody, my dad is basically a jerk. He did not really ever talk about it, but he himself had huge problems with his dad, whom I never came to know. His ex-wife in particular once told me, that he was beaten by my granddad and so on. Strangely enough I was beaten by him, not that it happened...

So it is about 4 months shy of 2 years since the 'taking a break' conversation. I live in the same town as my parents. In fact, my home is only about 3 miles from theirs. I knew this day would come, and that it will likely come again. Indeed I am somewhat surprised that it took this long for...

I would like to restate the question since there was confusion as to specifics. Is it a violation of UPB for not abiding the implicit contract of financially supporting your family as in parents and siblings? It is basically expected for the oldest to be the next in line in terms of support when the...

I wanted to ask the FDR community for thoughts on something I'm struggling with. My current situation is that I have recently graduated college and moved out of my parents' house, and am working two jobs to scrounge up enough money to pay my bills and expenses. But the part time jobs aren't...
