I've Defoo'ed recently. And I'm trying to do some self-exploration. I know for a fact that I'm going to need therapy at some point. But I'm still getting set up in a new place and until I'm more sure of my finances, among other things, I'm on my own. I've gotten writer's...

Been a long time listener to FDR, although I’ve always been more of a lurker than anything else. I've been toying with the idea of DeFoOing ever since I began listening to FDR, but didn't really feel like I had the right to post on the board until I’ve tried some of the "jujitsu"...

I sent my defoo letter to my parents a few months ago,and I am just getting around to posting the letter they sent in reply. I sent a very brief letter,just I was working through some issues and that family stuff was not helping.And that I would contact them when and if I was ready,and for them not to...

So I finally hit a last straw with my mother, and I sent a defoo letter. She was pretty awful to me as a kid, I'm not setting any precedence there. But as I got older She was nicer to me and I stuck around, even though I was always uncomfortable around her. I had figured that now that she's on...

My father and I have had it out before, but it's starting to come to a head. I've told my parents that I wish to pursue a career in theatrical arts, and they're not happy. In fact, my father told me on Saturday that if I go through with my dream, he'll consider me the worst failure on...

Has anyone else had this experience of FDR? Today I realized that I'm not living this philosophy, and that I'm well beyond the learning phase. I have had plenty of time to formulate any questions about things in FDR that confuse me, and this board as the perfect place to post them. I started...

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've just been thinking lately about what others think "healthy parenting" looks like. One where "defooing" would not be necessary. Does it mean to place very few restrictions on your child so they have the freedom to learn things on their own? Does it mean that you have to have...

i, as a social 17 year old, will probably have a harder time, practically and emotionally, with defooing than any adult. i suppose being an adult comes with a sense of aloofness, and i don't have that yet. i don't and can't get away from my dad. he's an atheist, so that's not the...
