Defoo - the first anniversary

Patience · Subject: Defoo - the first anniversary Wed May 13, 2009 7:32 pm

It's a year since Tom ran away from home.

QuestEon put the event into context in these four perceptive pieces on his blog:
Well, how did I get here?
Molyneux's response to the UK Guardian article, analyzed
Molyneux, the BBC, and the truth
The Defining of Liberating Minds

Since then, many other FDR members have proceeded to defoo and I am one of a growing group of parents. It doesn't seem to get any easier for us to bear the loss of our loved ones.

I still love Tom. I still miss him. I'm glad he is happy in his new life.

Patience,

All of your actions in the past year have shown your love for your son, and your intense grief over losing him. Your actions woke many to the reality of the evil side of Molyneux and FDR.

Anyone new here who is interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Stef and FDR, please do check out QuestEon's pieces. They are most informative.

This phenomenon is completely heartbreaking.

Personally, I appreciate everything that you have done Patience.

I am sorry, Patience. It is so god, though, that you are able to be forbearing --and I do feel that in time your patience will be rewarded.

Hi Patience,
Just like the sails on that old windmill, things have a habit of coming round and they surely will, you will see and so they all will in time.
Regards,
Jawol(48) heck I need to change that ha!

The true love of parents for their children doesn't ever really go away, does it.

It's hard to tell in his sickness, but I think Molyneux knows that well--that's why he works so hard to keep his victims from realizing it.

Most of what he does is designed to dehumanize parents and prevent his victims from witnessing or understanding the pain he visits upon them.

The instant you have a child, you're changed forever. You hold them in your arms for the first time and so many things you once thought were important simply evaporate. And it's all good.

Even today, I'm proud of what my child is trying to do. Unfortunately, his/her honorable motivations are being subverted by a malignant narcissist.

I agree with Patience. It doesn't seem to be getting any easier. As time goes by, our hearts grow sadder. I appreciate this forum very much.

Absolutely true Nelle, if anything what Molyneux has done has only served in striving to strenghten that bond and prove the love inspite of the wedge being driven in.
I do not understand why someone would deliberately try to divide a family unit and encourage folk to hate their family, wheather it be child leaving parent or parent abandoning child, it just is not right.
The ironic thing is that he is now a parent and hence 'one of us' thereby leaving him exposed to the same fears and insecurities that all parents can be subjected to.
