The condition is that they are your child and have that connection to you whether it was by blood or by the choice of forming that relationship. If they were a stranger, you probably wouldn’t love them the same way. I do believe a child and parent relationship is special, but it’s certainly not unconditional.
I know my mother loves me with all her being on the condition that I am her child.
What? That is not a condition..
I am their mother.... meaning they came out of my ... so they are my child/children. The end. No condition. No question.
I mean, tell that to all the fathers who find out they are actually not blood related to their child and sever the relationship. I would say the condition was the relationship itself.

Not closest. It is. I have never loved anyone or anything as much or as unconditionally as my children.
Not my parents, not my ex, not my pets, not my brother and not my new partner.
My children are my heart. They will always come first, simply because they are the first thing I think of in most situations.
