Reflection on "Hard Decisions" (in progress)

I wasn't sure if I was going to write about this subject or not because it is very personal and intimate, not only to me but to others in my personal life, and I didn't want it to be interpreted as just negative venting, it is meant to be critical, but in the most loving and supportive way. I have been trying to put off writing this post, even though I have wanted to start it a lot over the last few days. I have put it off because I want it to be written perfectly, so that the reader does not want to stop reading, so that the reader will really allow the words to sink in and be understood without a doubt and without any uncomfortable associations.

Already, readers can tell that I am hesitant. I feel I must choose delicate terms and kind words, or face the rejection of a sensitive audience. But I need also be direct and firm, leave no gray area to scoot around, not room for excuses or misinterpretation. So I guess I will jump right in and see where this goes, and try to ignore whatever it is that holds me back, be it that I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or offend anyone, I need to put those things aside and stand be understood, because sometimes it is necessary to hurt others so they will stop hurting you.
