Leigh,
can you clarify what you mean by 'tough love'? You stated "Tough love is a clique. But it is appropriate for aboriginal Australians."

I always understood the term 'Tough Love" to be a violent form of assumed ownership. When a bloke gives a woman a bit of tough love- which actually means that physical violence was used to obtain sexual intercourse. I understand it to be aggravated physical violence including Rape, usually within a relationship.

Or sometimes 'Tough love' is just a physical beating to make another person love the one beating them.

I don't think your kind of love is what is needed at all.

Good point Aka.

I also think that Leigh should clarify what he means by "clique" ;)
