Over time, it is not healthy to love someone who doesn't love you back or respect you. That is NOT unconditional love; it's being a doormat AND OR being a victim and staying stuck in crazy patterns refusing to change b/c the unknown is somehow more frightening.
I read your whole posts, but sometimes something really stands out...and the above really 'stands out' to me.
How can being a doormat be loving? It actually the opposite of love to allow someone treat you with disrespect.
I agree wholeheartedly.
