    but why have unconditional love for your friends but not your family?

    Years and years of mental abuse makes the love for your family go away.

    My friends are not like that. I know them deeply.

      You avoided my bigger question.

      Love should be conditional. It should be reciprocated.

      Years and years of mental abuse makes the love for your family go away.

      Right. Because your love was conditional. Which is a good thing. You loved them; they abused you; you quit loving them.

      What am I missing here?
