Mercy > justice

One of our girls is so hard on herself. When she does something wrong, like bomb a test, she goes into a shell and won't communicate. This happened again last night.

After having a big argument with the missus about it, I sat down by her and just started talking. She didn't respond for like 20 minutes, but finally, slowly, started coming out of her shell.

It's so hard not being tyrannical.
