Fuzzybear - I'm not trying to rain on your parade - but I'm in a hurtin' kind of place right now.
The only unconditional love I'm aware of is the kind our pets bring to our life. 
I can only speak for myself...I just seem to be incapable of consistently understanding or maintaining unconditional love in any relationship. Historically I find a way to run amok in all my relationships. A clear pattern of self sabotage prevails and continually I bang my head on the wailing wall of what could have been.
The abandonment issues are many. |
notz  your signature is a good thought of ways you can improve on your relationships with others. i think many of us bear the scars of the past, some we have worked on in therapy and some not. hopefully you can regain trust in others and find "what could have been" really comes true!
