Just how 'unconditional' would your love for your children be?

I would embrace them.

A love between a parent and a child is unconditional no matter what they do or who they turn out to be. If you are setting limitations on your love for your child it would not be called unconditional love.
Now, loving them and being upset with them are two different things. I am a mother of 3 and I know in my heart that IF my child was to do something like this one there would be some kind of mental illness or personality disorder that would have been noticed before adulthood and professional help would be sought but not to say it could have prevented his or her actions because when they are 18 they can move out of supervised group homes or stop therapy if they choose and make decisions on their own whether it be the best decision or not.
I would still have that bond with my child and love them yes I would. Approve or Condone or even support my child would be the question. To ask if I would love them that is not even a question yes I would.

That would be a very hard question to answer...I think that I would be very saddened, however I dont believe that I could never not consider them my child. Most of the time when people become serial killers or kill someone in the first place it is because they have a loss of reality because of a serious mental illness(most of the time) Even though I wouldnt condone taking another life I would have to continue to love and pray for my son or daughter... for the turmoil and toment that would be going on in their minds that they would even consider taking another human beings life. I guess this touches me a little harder cause about 3 years ago a two very good friends lives were shattered when the one killed the other in a drug enduced drunking jealous rage. I was torn cause they were both friends while I was sad for her loss of life, I was also saddened that he felt he had no choices but to end his significant others life and just how sick he was.

Wow it would be difficult to continue to love them, but I dont think I could abandon my child.
I guess I could only hope my child (seriel killer) was deemed mentally insane, so that I could at least understand a bit.
I mean, Just imagine the guilt feelings one would have as a parent.... How could I have given birth to a monster.
Ok!!! I guess unless it happened I could not answer this question. Its one of those things you have to be faced with to even TRY to think about.
One thing I do know though. If I found out Before the law did, I do know I would turn my child in. For his/her own sake as well as the obvious reasons.

I would love them, but understand that I didn't have the power to help them in the way they need it. The thing is though...I think I would know my child well enough to recognize that there was a problem, LONG before it developed into 'serial killer', and I would have gotten him/her help before it came to that.

Absolutely Not! As horrible as it may be, they are still your child. Anything my children ever do no matter how horrific could ever stop me from loving them. That is unconditional love and every child deserves to be loved like that.

Are you serious? What prompted you to ask? Here is my answer. As love goes, I would likely love them, but not condon their actions. What that means is that I would not try to prevent them from experiencing punishment that is due them as a result of their actions. I would not disown them, if by that you mean that I would deny them altogether

I wouldn't disown her but I would put her down like a rabid dog. If you love something set it free. If she returns, then youve just seen a ghost. Hope that helps.

No, but confusion would definatley have its role there! Having to just try to understand would be the challenge. Keep in mind that you are talking about psychological behavior. That would mean they couldn't help it.

Heck, be easy to know what they want for Christmas, just get them a gun! Ha!
Seriously, I would still love them. I would be concerned about their relationship with people, as, I care about people, and would really hope they would, so, I would be hurt in my heart, but, I would still love them.
