What do you do ???

What do you do when someone tells you something your not prepared to hear. What do you do when with the info you've heard causes you fear. Do you run, judge, set blame or do you show empathy by putting yourself in that persons shoes. Life is hard enough without all these EXTRAS meaning ADDICTION, STD's , VIOLENCE, and last but not least SELFISHNESS. I believe Selfishness is the cause of most of the EXTRAS we experience throughout our lifetime.

Once again what do you do when your in too deep. What do you do with the info that causes you not to sleep. Do you lie to yourself and say its okay hoping the problem magically goes away. Do You tell yourself" I can deal" knowing good and well the relationship will end if you don't keep it real. This person has shown you nothing but kindness your emotions in full swing causing temporary Blindness " I CAN DEAL I say to myself !!!! but Can I ?

Am I as brave as she is ? Probably not, but my heart tells me otherwise.
