[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never had a "confrontation," big or otherwise, with a relative or inlaw.

Maybe if you're asking this question you need to think about [i]what is the problem with you [/i]that you think that having a "confrontation" is normal or typical.  Because it isn't.[/quote]

What? How is it not normal or typical to confront someone you love about a difficult issue? [/quote]

Why do you feel the need to "confront" instead of have a reasonable discussion?  That's a problem with you if you think it is normal or typical to "confront" people about something.[/quote]

Darling, don't you think it depends on what the something is? Should the poster on the first page have "gently approached" her father about his sexual abuse of her? Or was she right in confronting him?

GTFO. [/quote]

Now you're being hyperbolic and condescending to divert the discussion, and a furtherance of your "confront" model.  Hhhhmmmm.  What does that say about you?  99.99999% of situations in life don't require an approach of "confront."  If "confront" is your modus operandi then that is a problem with you, not with the other person.[/quote]
