You need both: a spine and a soft hand.

Thorns & Tenderness is the rule set: hold your line, keep your heart.

Field Rules

Boundaries = respect. Say what you mean without heat.

Mercy with standards. Help, don’t enable.

Truth before speed. One honest sentence beats twenty loud ones.

Exit clean. If it drains you, step back with grace.

Anchor it. Wall + lock screen → every glance = backbone + mercy.

If it’s heavy, talk to a pro (therapist/coach/doctor). If you’re in danger, use your local emergency number.
