"But you loved your mother unconditionally"

I love my mother still as unconditionally as humanly possible but there were still conditions to my presence, and there was a greater good. She had no one and was weaker than me when I allowed her back to my life. She was oppressed, vulnerable even if not towards me. I had to step in and help despite the hurt. I had a sense of obligation because she is my mother whether I like her as a person or not. Whether she harmed me or not.

In the past when she was capable of standing over my best interest and hurt me, I walked away and left her. The greater good was leaving her to take care of my siblings and myself.

I don't suffer unconditionally for anyone. There are rules and causes and consequences.
