I think it only really applies between immediate family members. I love my children unconditionally because they are my children and I gave birth to them. I also love my husband very much but it is not unconditional. If he was cheating on me or started beating me up I would probably stop wanting to be with him and in time would probably stop loving him. But I will never stop loving my children whatever happens.
You may be right I don’t know either. My kids certainly brought their dramas into our lives as teenagers. In different ways they brought their own challenges but despite the problems and heart ache they brought I never stopped loving them. Fortunately they grew out of their difficulties and are now well balanced adults with jobs. If they had been beating me up I don’t know if I may have felt differently because it never happened. I like to think nothing would ever stop me loving my kids but I guess we all have our limitations.
I, don't, believe, in, unconditional, love

Sure but if they grew up to be violent and began abusing you I'd doubt you'd feel the same. Or maybe you would I don't know, I don't have kids.
