Everything I say is said with love, even if it is harshly spoken. Even Jesus spoke harshly sometimes, but he ALWAYS spoke with love. 
I wrote about this in my prayer journal one time, and Jesus described it to me as a kind and compassionate doctor giving someone a bad diagnosis, and then offering treatment. Jesus was never harsh with those who followed him, he was always harsh with those who opposed him.
Jesus was harsh even with those he loved. He called his friend Judas a traitor, and told Peter that he would deny Him, even thought Peter swore he would never betray Jesus. Jesus told truth straight, with no chaser. The only difference is, Jesus did it more gently than I do. I tell things like I see them, I'm not going to sugar coat it and tell the person what they want to hear, instead of what they NEED to hear. Even Jesus said that open rebuke is better than hidden love.

Willie T is a very wise man. He has over 20 years experience with helping lost causes who really weren't so lost after all. If I remember correctly, he even has a prison ministry (I think, lol). You would do well to listen to him.
As you can see, I'm rather straightforward in my answers. So if you're expecting a sugar coated bubble gum version of reality, you won't receive it from me. Sometimes people need a good dose of the truth, even if they don't want to hear it. And rebukes are SUPPOSED to be tough. They wouldn't be rebukes if they were gentle. We've tried being gentle with you, and we've tried being tough. And you resist both. You came here for help and advice, so accept it whether it's gentle or tough, because both are good for you.
Had someone spoken harshly to me about certain situations I've found myself in, such as leaving my ex because he was an abusive no-good bum, I would have gladly heeded their advice. But I didn't, so one day I found myself getting strangled by him. You should be glad that some of us are giving you a tough time, so you can heed our advice before you REALLY get yourself any deeper in this mud pit of sadness that you've got going on. You don't like your life? Then get proactive and do something to change it, rather than just moaning about how unfair it is.

2 Timothy 2:23-26
Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
