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.

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...

I live in Wausau, WI . Currently alone in a 3 BR upper level of a house. Rent is $650/mo with all utilities covered by the landlord. So $325 each for two people and $217 for three people. The bedrooms, closets, and living room are pretty spacious but I haven't measured them or anything. Kitchen and...

I've heard Stef say several times in podcasts that he thinks it important to be working with a therapist when going through the process of taking a break from the family. I have finally figured out the crucial questions that I need to ask of my parent, and the importance of asking them, and I expect...
