A quick definition of castle doctrine:

The castle doctrine is a rule that says if someone is in their own home and they feel like someone is going to hurt them, they don't have to run away before defending themselves. Normally, people have to try to run away before they can use force to protect themselves, but the castle doctrine makes an exception for people in their own home. This rule is different in different places, but it means that if someone is in their own home and they feel like they're in danger, they can use force to protect themselves without having to try to run away first.

A more thorough explanation:

The castle doctrine is a legal principle that allows a person to use deadly force to defend themselves in their own home without having to retreat first. This means that if someone breaks into your home and you feel threatened, you can use deadly force to protect yourself without having to try to run away first.

For example, if someone breaks into your home and threatens you with a weapon, you can use deadly force to defend yourself without having to try to escape first. This is because the castle doctrine allows you to defend yourself in your own home without having to retreat.

The castle doctrine is not the same in every state, so it's important to understand the laws in your area. Some states have a "stand your ground" law, which means that you can use deadly force to defend yourself in any location where you have a legal right to be, not just in your own home.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
