I'm not talking about your kids and parents but past/present lovers or friends. No matter what this person did you wouldn't judge them. If they needed you that you would drop everything to help them. Keep the below quote from Corinthians in mind:
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."

Interesting question! I have never really considered this, but after thinking about it, I don't think I have unconditional love for anyone outside my family. If I'm totally honest with myself, I can't see myself dropping everything to help a past/present lover or friend UNCONDITIONALLY. In most cases, I'd probably try to help, but I would still judge if I didn't like how they got themselves into the situation.

I did have that kind of love for someone and it was emotionally exhausting. My heart was broken many times by this person and then I woke up and saw the reality of the relationship. You could only take so much and the love starts to fade in time.My family are the ones that I love unconditionally.

While we are plighted with being human, I have been given over that unconditional love. It's shaky at times, but when it got right down to it, that was all I wanted to do... forgive them, help them, make their day better!
Here's the kicker! Do this with nothing given back in return! That is where my human tendencies took over me and I was slowly lost.
But some would say I was wasting my time, loving something that didn't love me in return...
I always knew what was up, but that's what you are talking about right? Unconditional...

There is no such thing as unconditional love. If your feeling has no conditions, then you feel absolutely the same about everyone. If you feel absolutely the same about everyone, then you do not feel special love for any one.
You don't just love everyone - there is some reason for why you love someone. That reason is a condition.
There is no such thing as unconditional love.

I have not felt that for anyone but one person has a deep, unconditional love for me. I feel awful for not returning back his love and sometimes, I feel as if I'm cheating him emotionally.

There is unconditional love. The love that you feel for your children (or should feel for your children). No matter what they do or say you will love them. I feel that way with my boyfriend. I would love him no matter what and forgive him, although that doesnt mean that I would stay with him.

I did because I really thought I had found the one. I would have and did do anything for her. Too bad all I was just blind and that person was a corrupt individual.

Yes there are a few friends that I feel that way about.

Vampy,
I try mate, but it is a true practice that can take many lifetimes to perfect - please see:

particularly from 'Developing Compassion' onwards.
Easiest to start with those we already like and love and work outwards I reckon.
