I always told my kids that I would never stop loving them, but there would be times when I wouldn't like their behaviour. Huge difference.

[queent]

It's called unconditional love. Separate the action from the child.

[psalmbird]

Love is there but relationships have boundaries

[wallihaley]

I am 70 now and I know there were years when I broke my parents’s hearts. But I am so grateful that they never gave up on me and stood by me. Now they’re gone and I miss them so much. Love you mom and dad.

[colleencanas]

When there is unconditional love, it is priceless. My Mom used to say, "I may not like you right now, but I will always love you." Mostly said when I was a terror as a teenager.❤

[ds]

That’s the same here and I still make sure they’re accountable for their actions.

[sabrinagranger]

This is how it should be! And love also means doing what is right for them. I know my parents will always love me, no matter what, but I also know that if I do something wrong or harm someone, they will act in love and do the right thing. That is love as an action.

[Cherie-kwkj]

I'm not a parent but I have the same sentiment with my nieces and nephews. I love them unconditionally and they can come to me with anything.

[flashthecorgi]

PEOPLE: Dr. John goes on to say unless my child is putting someone in active danger ie rape, murder, domestic violence, etc. YOU have to actually watch the show..

[BanjoPixelSnack]

As a child of parents who made me feel like I was irrelevant, that they could abandon me at any moment, I can't even fathom what it would have been like to have parents who made me feel safe. As an adult now I still don't know how to feel safe.

[michaeldaugherty]

Excellent advice! They should always have a safe place in your heart. Kids don’t forget anything!

[jennnewman]

Yes, I tell them all the time, “I will love you no matter what!”. They need to know that I am always going to be a safe place to land, no matter what!!

[intrusivethougts]

Thanks, i am. Grow adult who still questions if my parents ever loved me

[melodybowen]

True, we love our children unconditionally. ❤❤❤❤ I've always told my kids that no matter what they do bad or wrong, they can tell me and I would still love them no matter what. ❤❤❤

[ramoncruz]

There’s definitely no line my child could cross where I wouldn’t love them. However, love and approval are two seperate things. In fact, because I love my child, I will not approve of any behavior that will hurt them or others unjustly. Now, because of that, my child might feel like I don’t love them. When they realize that my disapproval was because of my love for them, hopefully they will understand.

[jennylynne]

That line kept me from getting involved with a lot of bad stuff. Drugs, alcohol, pregnancy outside of marriage ... I took those things seriously BECAUSE there was a line.

[Kayla-eyzg]

My parents always made it clear they would love me no matter what. They wouldn't always love my decisions or save me from the consequences of them, but it wouldn't change the love.

[robynfisher]

I am a mom of four. Three boys and a girl. The girl treated me like garbage. She looked for reasons to argue. Asking my opinion and then arguing about my answers. It wasn’t until I drew a REALLY hard line and told her to stay away from me that she changed. Sometimes that line needs to be there. Love is only unconditional in fantasy land. When you’re treated bad enough by someone for long enough, love can and will die. Don’t confuse love with attachment. They are not the same thing.

[karensimons]

Absolutely! My kids always knew they were loved. I told them often and sincerely. My son is 53 and sometimes he has done things in past that were poorly advised. I could feel that be loved ne and knew i loved him. The past decades havw been a study in unconditional love. It is beautiful and such a testimony to not "parenting by threats, fear, etc. iI am proud of us😊❤

[heretomakehimknown]

Thats right! I love my babies unconditionally!
