Publisher's Synopsis
Parenting calls us to grow in ways we never would have thought possible and every day we are learning more and more about what we don't know and about what we had no idea to expect. One of the most powerful areas of that growth is in the need to learn to love our children unconditionally. UNKIDITIONAL LOVE presents the wisdom and insight of two folks who learned through experience and training about the trials, joys and demands of parenting. Tom Russo, a single dad of two girls shares with humor, humility, and profound wisdom his experiences of being a single dad of. His unkiditional love of his daughters continues to grow as do the number of experiences of parenting from adoption, diapers, teenage dating and so much more. Dr. Dorothy makes a clear point, more than once, that without faith and a sense of humor parenting is impossible. Learning to laugh at yourself and not take you or each experience so seriously that your guilt or self-judgment reigns is definite proof you have made it through to other side and can now relax with adult children. Parenting is not easy and yet it can fill you in ways nothing else does. Learn to see it from a perspective that says dads make great parents, and are gifts beyond words to their kids, boys or girls. Moms too often forget that they are not meant to be forgotten in this process and are encouraged to find a way to celebrate their life not just their parenting, helping everyone in the household win.
