1 " Prepare a gentle but firm response to use the next time someone feels they have a right to comment on your life decisions. You might say something like, " I'm sure you have my best interest at heart, and I thank you for your concern. However, you didn't experience what I did, so you can't understand what I went through. I made the best decisions I could based on what happened in my life. I know you will honor my right to decide what is best for me, just as I allow you to decide what is best for you. "
