When families confront the limits of unconditional love during crisis

Our family always talks about unconditional love but my brother's addiction has pushed all of us to our limits and we're realizing we don't actually know what unconditional means when someone you love is destroying themselves and hurting everyone around them. We love him and we're exhausted by him and we can't figure out how both things can be true.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The philosophical ideal of unconditional love meets the practical reality of loving someone whose behavior causes ongoing harm.
