Often “tough love” is not very loving. But sometimes you [b]have[/b] to step back and let the person catch their [b]own[/b] balance or actually fall, so they can get back up. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard in that metaphor i think falling is what needs to happen obviously not in every situation bt thats what defines tough love tough love isnt being too tough it being just tough enough
