Mamya... I think you may have just hit the nail on the head. x
Butch... of course. We none of us set out to love someone for a reason or a season... we just love them. Sometimes that love stands the test of time, sometimes it doesn't.
My mum once said that parents (good parents) should always love their children, but that didn't mean that they had to like them.
Unconditional love - coming home after being out for about 5 minutes and your dog being so happy to see you.
My cats just sort of grunt and me and wander over to my shopping bags.
I do but thats beside the Q ummm.
Ive learnt the hard way and its been a real learning curve to my sanity an to how much I could physically give to cpmpensate -not enough asd it happens and thats painful and raw.
However I was intriqued when I posted that it became a debate of how much you could love your child if they were heinious baskets.............not thankfully being in that situ.
I am of the opinion I dont know if it would be a case of how I was expected to react and how I did.react.
I guess I would carry guilt for the rest of my life as I gave that child the genes along with their father.I know I couldnt forgive but I know I wouldnt stop loving.
