I agree that it is sometimes hard to stay loving when the wider world (and especially family) is angry with the choices he is making. I faced so much vindictiveness from family and friends, so much venom, and I just decided that if I let that in and wallowed in it I would just be bitter and angry... not what I wanted to be. So it has not really been a difficult thing for me to be loving from afar, because that is how I feel. It has been much harder for me to ride the roller coaster of HIS emotions pulling me close and pushing me away.
