Unconditional love - A POLL

[finn's mom]

I think some do and some don't. I know that loving someone and liking them are two completely different things, though. If anyone in my family ever did anything so horrendous as to murder someone, I would love them, but would more than likely never want anything to do with that person ever again.

I voted for the 4th option. I know I am unconditionally loved. But I know of two situations where that is not the case. Two generations of the same family. It is very hard to watch.

I had to vote a yes. They start out loving their children unconditionally then sometimes things happen & they don't work out the way they are planned. You end up with a challenging child, and what are you to do? A person can only do so much & when it doesn't work you have to make some decisions for the safety & well being of yourself & family.

And these things can happen in the best and the worst families. The rich and poor, black, white, yellow, and green.
It is always tragic....................
Being a parent is something one needs to give years of thought to before one takes that step.

Giving it years of thought in no way prepares anyone for the unexpected. You may be the best parent ever, but if a child (especially an adult child) decides to be a destructive and toxic force within the family, no amount of "years of thought" that you may have given the situation before you decided to bring that child into the world, will amount to a hill of beans.
