[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 41485, member: 3419"] [i]I don't withhold hugs - I however ask kt or wm to wait. That I need to be calm before a hug. If that means waiting an hour, so be it. Frequently, if nothing else, I will offer a side hug. Again, to maintain my relationship with my children with-o feeding into manipulations or inappropriate choices.[/i] Linda, I wonder if yours is the response I recall from b4? At any rate, thank you for input. I understand the concept of unconditional love. But I think the concept has, over the yrs, been taken out of context. Somewhat tangentially, it reminds me of the Ali McGraw LOVE STORY movie, where Ryan O'Neal says, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." (The actual quote in the bk was "Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.") NOT! We had so many discussions and arguments when that came out... students, parents, friends... When Erich Segal wrote that, he had no idea he was opening a can of worms. [/QUOTE]
