When Mussar Becomes Verbal Abuse ❦ Mussar Conversation #21

Most of the synonyms for "reproof" in the dictionary are violent. You get the impression we don't know how to say "stop" or have those hard conversations without losing it and becoming verbally abusive. Maybe that's even happened to you. What do you do when someone's rebuking you but you're not sure they actually care about you, or want the best for you, or even really know you? How do you take care of your own heart in those situations? This is Boundaries 101 but most of us never learned basic boundaries so welcome to the club. :)
