Quote:
I remember viewing an interview of Jeffrey Dammer and his Father...they both sat side by side facing the interviewer...
It was plain that Jeffrey's Father Loved him..it was clear through his responses and simply his presence with such a monster...
His utter disgust for his son's behaviors was also evident as was his deep personal sadness.
His Father displayed profound poise in those moments...an act of Love that I still find hard to totally understand...

I remember that interview well. How my heart went out to that father who was so torn, so tired, so sad and who so loved "his" son. That is the quintessental "unconditional love".
I suppose we would have to be in a situation similar to understand how he could still love the son who became a beast. But at the same time, there are parents all over the world who's children have committed heinous crimes and they still love their children...no matter what.
There is a history between parent and child. There is the moment of conception to the moment of birth to raising the child to the best of their ability. How can those kinds of bonds be broken? How can the unconditional love go away when it's been there since the beginning? I really don't see how, so I guess in my way, I can understand how Mr. Dahmer still felt love towards his son.
