==Criticism==
==Criticism==
In 2005, Molyneux published a controversial conclusion on maintaining relationships with parents based on his and his wife's evaluation: {{quote |text=Does this sound too radical? Do you think it extreme for me to say that almost all parents are horribly bad? Perhaps it is. However, if you look at the state of the world – the general blindness and the slow death of our liberties – the challenge you take on by disagreeing with me is this: ''if it’s not the parents, what is it?''{{br}}{{br}}Either the world is not sick, or parents are. Because, as my wife says, it all starts with the family. If you want to perform the greatest service for political liberty, all you have to do is turf ''all'' of your unsatisfying relationships. Parents, siblings, spouse, it doesn’t matter. If you can do that, you can speak honestly about freedom. |sign=Stefan Molyneux (emphasis in original) |source=<ref>{{cite web | last=Molyneux | first=Stefan | title=Are People Just Stupid? | url=http://freedomain.blogspot.com/2005/04/are-people-just-stupid.html | publisher=Freedomain Blog | accessdate=October 7, 2012 | date=April 9, 2005}}</ref>

In 2008, one Freedomain Radio member's parents' complaints about these ideas were published as part of a series of newspaper articles. The parents claimed that Freedomain Radio is a therapeutic cult after the 18-year-old member left home and severed all contact with his family, an action that Freedomain Radio calls "deFOO" (borrowed from academic psychology, "FOO" is an acronym "Family of Origin").
