Sup guys I've been listening to podcasts for a few months. For a while I have been daydreaming about moving to a new city and leaving my family and friends. I finally have an oppurtunity to move. I have accumulated some money to help me find a job and a place to live in this new city. I want to share...

Hey All, I've been having this problem with emotionally convincing myself to defoo; I see my parents lives without me and I feel their heartache. Even though there has been blackmail, some physical abuse and overall very bad parenting, I feel reluctant to leave. My mother annoys me by continuously...

I know this is a really long post, but it was a major event in my life and would greatly appreciate some feedback. I'm new here -- I have made some introductory posts in the appropriate forums. I had the most mind blowing conversation with my mom last night. It ended up with me yelling at the top...

Hi Stef, everyone, In all the discussions about family relationships and parents and bullies, there is very little discussion about adult offspring. - You know, from a parent's point of view. I have 3 adult children in their 30's, and my tally of grandchildren recently expanded to 6. I realize...

See, I get "less hell" for my atheist and anarchist views than for my lesbianism (from the general public; I'm sure my Catholic aunt would be more upset with the lesbianism). I think it's because there is a fairly large number of atheists and a tiny number of anarco -capitalists, so...

Glad to see future parents are included too. I'm way too young to think about kids, really, and I don't even know if I will want kids, but I do have a question. I am a lesbian, so were I to raise a child it would be in a rather unusual family. How could I protect/prepare a child from/for the...

I didn't know quite where to put this, but the book with that title is written by a child psychologist, so... Just wondering whether any of the parents or prospective parents on the board have read this book. It's one that really hit home with me when my wife and I were devouring a lot of parenting...
