Imagine a young woman who has gone off to collage and has not been home for two years. She brings her "boyfriend" along to the family dinner and they start asking him questions.
Family member#1: So, since you are dating my daughter, what kind of work do you do? What school are you going to? Do you have enough financial resources to support my girl?
Boyfriend: Oh, I don't go to school because I dropped out. Oh, your daughter takes care of me and supports me financially I don't need a job.
(Now the family is figuring out how much they "love" each other. The boyfriend gets upset and tells her that they are leaving.)
Boyfriend: Grabs his girlfriend by the arm.) Come on, we are leaving! (As he yanks her from her chair, her sleeve pulls from her shoulder and the family can see the bruises on her arm. This has happened before to her without the family knowing. They are in shock and furious. Deep grief fills them all.)
I am trying to paint a clear picture of when to close the door in love.
