A few years ago coralproper (and any others who may be interested), there was a movie that came out in regard to how people can clash with each other. Quite often, we're coming from a place of fear when we do that. I thought the movie was absolutely wonderful. There was much in it that I could identify with. It was called
[youtube video] and has become one of my favorite movies of all time.
I can see you're feeling a bit of heat at the moment and perhaps it would be best for you to pull back a bit so you can recenter yourself. When you do so, I would hope you will not sink into self-blame or personal invalidation. You were speaking from your own experience and although the conversation may be challenging in some respects, I didn't see you trying to deliberately hurt anyone.
Anyway, if you're going to slip away for a bit of relax time, I highly recommend that movie as a good way to chill.
Regards.
