I'm 14 and frankly I'm not sure what tough love means exactly. Of course, parents say tough love is something like taking harsh measures when they think it's necessary to correct their kids. But I'm not sure if tough love is something continuous or something that's used only when required, a necessary evil. To me, love does'nt need and shouldn't be given adjectives. So, I guess tough love is just an expression parents use to justify their harsh attitudes towards their kids. That's probabby what my parents did to me almost 1 year ago and that made me so resentful that since them I've avoided them and act like a stranger, though they even say I'm proud of me (except for my resentful behavior, but which is my undeniable right).
So, if in the future my parents are in need and I'm in a very good situation, it's OK I deny them any help and just say this is for their own good, because they will learn and grow up as persons from adversity. Tough love, OK?
