Try, try to ensure they understand what you think, not what you think they want to hear but what you think. Of course always be kind in sharing your honest word.

Instead the pinched face as I withheld my affection in the same dam that withheld my criticism is the pinched face that made it all turn to muck. Mucky muck.
