"Tough love". Have you ever heard the expression before? I've heard that you should use tough love towards the person with substance abuse.
But what exactly is "tough love"? Can love be tough? Or is it about functional and respectful attitude, towards yourself and others? It doesn't have to be negative. You, yourself, can turn it into something positive and use it according to your own situation in life.
How do you interpret "tough love"? Please write in the comments and tell us your views and experiences of this!

I interpret that tough love means:
* To clearly communicate your values; what you think is okay and not okay.
* To stand up for your own values and not compromise or violate what you believe in.
* To be clear and respectful in your communication.
* To let the person with an alcohol- or drug addiction handle and take responsibility for the negative consequences of the addiction.
