You might feel better now because you recently vented, but your outburst to him, to those on the outside of your head, sounded childish and impotent.
I am sure you are right about that. I wish I would have handled it differently, how I don't know, but I wish it was different.

I understand what you're saying to me. What I don't know, is where is the balance. I mean, I don't ever wish to become a completely passive person with no fight and no action. That just isn't who I desire to be. With that said, how would you have dealt with the situation at hand? Would you just allow someone to continue to talk badly about you and your family, and then welcome them to your home with open arms? Would you have confronted the person, or just pretended it wasn't happening, while they looked you in the face with a smile and stabbed you in the back once you turned around?
