I agree with you, Mel. Unconditional support is just that: support. It doesn't mean you agree with everything they do, and neither does it mean they expect you to! Otherwise how would any of us get along with the people in our lives whom we love, since we are all individuals with our own beliefs and personalities? "Free-pass" - that's just not true; it's assuming the person you support does not think for themselves, but instead waits to see your reaction and bases their future actions on that! I don't think that happens very often, and certainly not here with Meat, LOL! He's his own man :)
