I hate the idea of 'Tough Love' and all that it encompasses. To me, 'Tough Love' is a way of someone asserting their belief that their moral/social viewpoint is superior to yours.

I don't regard it as flaming. I regard it as you missing the point and arguing the exact point I was making. I was claiming it was retarded reasoning.

and yet, you don't understand that what OP and anyone else who is talking about THIS SUBJECT is making distinctions here... not generalizing the whole "point" like... *ahem*... smart potatas.

Cyn here: Not sure why my husband didn't mention this, but it's funny the OP of this thread asked what my husband would to if it were his child. My daughter (my husbands step-daughter of one year at the time)said she wanted to kill herself, and I knew she was just an angry child trying to get attention. I did respond with tough love. Of course, I took her to the hospital where she stayed for a week and paid thousands of dollars to make sure she was in a safe fist. P.S. my brother committed suicide when he was 15 and I was pregnant with said daughter. He was drunk that night and he didn't tell anyone he was going to do it.
I think the most important word in "tough love" is the last word, which is often missed by a lot of people. The reason my marriage is so strong is because we call each other out on each others bullshit. I think if someone doesn't challenge me to be a better person, they must not have much interest in me at all. This can be done from a place of love. I would never tell someone to commit suicide. Life is a precious thing, and it's a shame that some people don't see that. It's also a shame that some people feed off other people by making threats, and I think that's they type of people my husband was referring to . Every challenge in life is a gift, because it teaches us something, and makes us stronger.

yeah, but there is a point when you do that. you can't just DO THAT ALL THE TIME. "oh i'm gonna killmyself, i hate my life" "fine, you suck do it".
that's a fuckin' bombshell.
