[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not protect a murder, even if they were my child. I would not pay their legal fees, especially with the information that they took a like with intention (or in crime of passion). I would remain their parent and try to find a peaceful place in my heart to be compassionate and loving to them. But not blindly. And not without them having significant conversation s with me and their father in regards to accountability; and if they were not remorseful in their actions that process would take longer. You cannot kill someone and expect it not be acknowledged. This is still loving my child unconditionally, but removing the magical thinking that they did not do something horrific to another persons child. [/quote]

I agree with this and the PP who thought she was weird. I guess my love is conditional? I am not a "bury your head in the sand" well "MY CHILD would NEVER!" kind of person and I raise my kids to defend themselves with full knowledge that they might be a-holes at some point! I love them, but I don't excuse poor behavior or think they could never do wrong. For boys especially I think this is dangerous. Murder?! It's so outside our moral code, I can love them but as you said, not blindly. Commit the crime, do the time. That's just so out of bounds. I wouldn't feel similarly about a minor charge (driving without a license, etc.) and would support them and get them an attorney, but murder is a whole different category. [/quote]
