[quote=Anonymous]When I think of "unconditional love," I think of a parent's love for their child. I'm currently not speaking to one of my siblings. I feel like they have gone out of their way to be unkind, selfish, and lie - and I feel especially wronged, because I know I've done a hell of a lot for that particular sibling, and I feel like I deserve better. They don't need to do stuff or "pay me back" or anything - but simple honestly and thoughtfulness go a long way, but they can't even return that. Family and others keep telling me I should "forgive" them and "let bygones be bygones" because family is supposed to unconditionally love one another (aforementioned sibling has never apologized or expressed remorse for their behavior). I think unconditional love, outside of love for one's children, is bullshit. In order to maintain a healthy relationship, everyone needs something in return - from their spouse, siblings, family, friends, etc. At least some kindness, some generosity, some thoughtfulness, some honesty is critical, I think. Am I wrong? I feel like I'm at the point where I don't think I love this particular sibling. I don't hate them, but I just don't care. What do you think about "unconditional love?" Is it possible/not possible to love someone if they give you absolutely nothing back that's positive? [/quote]
