Thanks, Sandi2! I understand your POV better now. I want to respond to your question:

“maybe there is a good blend of strong boundaries and unconditional love.”


My question is how can you blend what has limits and what is limitless??? How could the two go hand in hand without there being a contradiction?

Unconditional love is about what you give to another person while boundaries define what you allow them to give (do) to you. I see no contradiction in showing a spouse limitless love but saying you will not sit idly by while they are abusive, for example. When a parent disciplines a child for stepping over a line (violating a boundary) does the parent withdraw their love? Of course not.

I'm done! Good night all!
