Wow -- thank you all for your quick responses. Cyn, that's quite quotable.. I think I might print that out as a reminder to myself.

Unsolicited responses are usually unwanted and intrusive, even for loved ones. Knowledge sometimes cuts deeper than knives... one has to know when to use it and when to just keep walking.

abaya: How do you personally gauge whether the person wants to know the truth? It seems to me that making the decision FOR the person whether you tell them the "truth" is deceptive. It's something I need to work on, but I can't fathom an example when someone would
not need to know the truth? I personally hate to be given false information in an effort to keep the peace. I'd rather be told the truth and I'd be upset if someone made that decision for me.
