in any situation they found themselves in as adults? Meaning, single parenthood, living with their partner and their children without getting married, whether they were gay or lesbian, or any other situations that are routinely judged. If you weren't happy and or accepting of them in any situation, isn;t that basically saying I love you, with conditions?
I personally will be happy with any decision my child makes for her life if it makes her happy,in regards to her sexuality, her decision to marry or not to marry, decisions to have children or not, etc.

mystic...your answer brings another facet into my question. I asked about things like marriage and homosexuality because those are the types of things I am curious about, not drug abuse or things of that type. Although I do agree with you on those types of things 100 %.

You can love your child without loving their actions. Do you love your child less when the draw all over the wall? No. But do you approve of drawing all over the wall? No.
Personally I am fine with a homosexual, or "unmarried" (I'm not married). However I would not approve of my son becoming an alcoholic or drug addict, nor would I approve of him being with someone who is an addict or abusive. That doesn't mean I would love him any less. Just as I didn't love him any less when he bit my nipple and made it bleed.

Nope. It's dependent on many things. Parents can be happy as can be while abusing or mistreating their children. Those children certainly won't be happy. Other parents can have a very busy happy life, but spend no time with their children. Those children won't be happy. Others still can be very happy but not have the first clue on how to raise a happy child - that child won't be happy. For the most part, if parents are happy, loving, accepting, and excited to be a parent - the child will feel that and benefit from it. On the other hand, a parent can be very unhappy with their life, but love their child as much as possible and do everything they can - and that child may grow up to be happy despite the parents depression.

I would be happy and supportive of my child no matter what!! Gay ,straight, married, single. It doesnt matter. This is one thing that worries me with my hubby though. I am affraid that he would not except my child if he was gay and would blame it on me. He always makes little comments about how things i am doing will make my child gay. Like letting him watch teletubbies, listen to the same music as me, taking his temp in his bottom. I feel that being gay is not a choice or something that is tought it is how you are born. My husband disagrees. I guess it is all in how you are raised. He was raised by a 60 year old women and his father died when he was very young. His mother is the sweetest old lady ever but she is set in her ways, she doesnt belive in gays, and she still has a hard time excepting black people. She is never mean about it though, i remember on thanksgiving, she has a disabled son, and he was brought to dinner by a black man and she looked at me and said, this is very diffrent having a colored man at my dinner table. I dont even think she knew how offensive it sounded. I am trying to work with my husband on being alittle more exceptive. I have a fear that he will scare my son away from being open and honest with us if he does make the choice to be gay.

a parent will always love their child no matter what they do. Their is NOTHING a child could do that would make their parents not love them. A parent might be upset with their child but they still love them. They may think things the child does is stupid but they still love the child.
ex.
You are sad when some one you loves die. Not just sad but torn to pieces. You would be torn to pieces if your child died right then and there.
Other people might have a different opinion but that is my opinion.

I would want her to be happy above all else. I may not approve of her choices, but I would support her all the way. (With the exception of drug/alcohol abuse or abusive partner, of course). There is nothing she could do to make me not love her or turn my back on her.
