The right kind of wrong

When put in a tight spot and asked to choose, most people either freeze or melt. That one situation which we really hoped to avoid confronting is that one irrevocable guest who enters our lives uninvited. And since a guest must be honored, we entertain despite discomfort. But when the show's over and its time to go home, how do you show your guest to the door? I realized that sometimes, our head doesn't want what our heart really needs. I've heard it being said that the right thing to do is always the hardest. But reality, I understood, went beyond hearsay - the right thing to do always feels so wrong.
