Brynn, I get that.
That's what I meant with "personal truth will always come out."
It's just matter of learning to do it in a planned manner, and not in reaction to the last straw.
I'm not saying I'm always able to do this - I've done both, too. I don't particularly like guilt that much though, so I tend to say it and mean it and not back down anymore. Someone trying to throw guilt on me because that usually "works" for them isn't going to get me to change my opinion.
