And THIS ^^^ is why I say the timing of WHEN you confront is critical. I never, nor ever will, promote NEVER confronting. It was the timing and manner in HOW you did it that was, IMO, critical. Only YOU know when that timing is right.

And that was the point of the feedback. At the end of the day, YOU need to feel comfortable how you proceed.

Not MY advice (you need to consider EVERYONE's, on all sides, and formulate your own plan) -- but acting, PERIOD.

Well said Starsky….well said.
