THIS..... when someone is very defensive it causes me not to want to speak to them about hard topics...then i causes me to feel blamed, then my defense kicks in.... and nothing is resolved....
Love is... just trying to understand what the other person is feeling or going through....and acknowledging them so they feel heard
