It's nice that it worked out. You wouldn't have told this wonderfully contrasting story if the daughter, with no place to go, had shacked up with a series of men that led ultimately to disaster, and I have seen that scenerio played out first hand.
The other also called her mother to discuss the possibility of divorce. Her mother said, "Well, if you do decide you have to leave, you can move back in here until you get your feet back on the ground." The daughter left within 2 weeks.
Which mother loved her daughter more?
Now that you have 3 daughters, 1 who stayed with her husband because her mother wouldn't let her come home, 1 who went from shackup to shackup because her mother wouldn't let her come home, and 1 who left her husband and moved home with mom, you tell me which mother loved her daughter more.
It's not as cut and dried when the endings aren't so neatly tied to the action is it?
Actually you make my point. It's not cut-n-dried. You can't just blythly say that your own version of "unconditional love" is the only version. There are circumstances that make the difference and sometimes you have to grant that people see different circumstances than you do.
Dr. Keyes may be making a right or wrong decision. Only time will tell. But your answer can't be judged the universally correct answer. People aren't machines.
