unconditional love

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I have been pondering a while on “unconditional love” and

would like your opinion.

The other day I was reading a

blog “MOM - Not Otherwise Specified” http://momnos.blogspot.com/2011/05/oh-pressure.html

 

I quote the last part:

 

“….low pressure systems can be intolerable for

them.  It's real.  It's got to be even more challenging and confusing

for Bud than it is for me.  And it's beyond his control; I know that.

 

And yet, knowing that doesn't mean I

can do anything about it, except, perhaps, challenge myself to be a bit more

patient - more tolerant of the rewind - more understanding that my son needs

to stay in a predictable and repetitive behavioral loop in order to stay

centered, in order to impose some kind of control on the internal chaos he

feels.  All I can do is try to minimize the external pressures as we

ride out the storm.”

 

Now, this was food for thought….. (not the “low pressure systems”

but the concern and loving care of a mother to her ASD child)

Are we as understanding - tolerant- patient and considerate with our

partners as with our children??  I have no intention to open a religious discussion (!) but, compare unconditional love/conditional relationship parent/child and between partners and why they are different.

 

Looking forward to responses.
