Loving our children unconditionally

Here is a piece by David Brooks, a social commentator that I appreciate. His point is that our love for our children should not be conditioned upon their achievements. The piece resonates for me as a parent, and as a professional advising parents in the process of separation and divorce. It could be that children affected by separation and divorce are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of love conditioned upon achievement and perhaps an expressed preference for one household over another.
