Amends and Discernment

“We have a myth of “total disclosure” in American culture that is not always fair or even helpful. Just because something is factually true, does not mean everyone can handle it or even needs to handle it - or has the right to the information. We need to pray and discern about what the other needs to hear and also has the right to hear.”. Robert Rohr

We should not disclose anything to our wives, parents, or children which may harm them. We have no right to save our own skin at another person's expense. We do not want to be a hasty, foolish martyr who needlessly sacrifices others to save himself from the pit of addiction.
