 What is your opinion on "Tough Love"?

 

Tough Love is an expression used when someone treats

another person harshly or sternly with the intent to help

 to be defined as Tough Love.
 

 

Interviewee 1 advised he did not agree with Tough love; he would let the Lord handle the problems but when given a scenario he automatically responded. He would put the person out of his household. So, I gathered most people do not know the meaning of tough love.





interviewee 2 agreed with tough love. She had actually experienced it and seen it enacted in others life. She described tough as giving individuals a boundary whether adult or child.  The boundary steers people in the right directions.
