Comments on: how UNCONDITIONAL should LOVE be? https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2017/07/unconditional-love/ Tue, 01 Aug 2017 01:58:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.8 By: Melissa https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2017/07/unconditional-love/#comment-308981 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 01:58:41 +0000 http://www.thecorkums.com/?p=7914#comment-308981 In reply to Nicole.

Thanks for your vote of confidence. Miss you, friend!

Over the past few years I’ve noticed that what’s damaging for me is damaging for all of us because living with a mom who is constantly being driven out-of-her mind isn’t pleasant (and doesn’t help with trust or relationship building).

It sounds like you’re doing something wonderful- letters can be read on the other person’s terms. A child could choose to collect them for years and still be comforted by the consistency of receiving them.

Hugs to you, Melissa! Your idea sounds brilliant to me.

Fortunately, our relationship with Jay is really positive right now 🙂

Isn’t it crazy how it hurts so much that even a letter feels like an epic struggle? I’m happy to chat, too. You know how to find me 😉

Faults, being a subjective term, can mean many things. For me, it means our poor decisions, hard/harsh character traits, an my sometimes ugly prior life experiences. You saw a good person in Jay. He got arrested, and that hurts your ego. It hurts your ego because you want to believe you have him all of your love to help teach him how to abide by the law and that your role model should have been enough. I experienced this a lot as a teacher. I will tell you that those things aren’t enough. So many factors play into why he got arrested. But I would feel that it is now my job to love him harder and show him there is still a family and community that is there for him when/if he is released.

Just haven’t had the courage to start because I’m pretty sure at some point my words will be ripped up, scribbled hatefully on or used against me at some point. Might have to chat with you more about that but yes, more prayer is a good idea too.
