Dad refuses to see 19-year-old son after claiming he ‘finds it hard to love him’, knowing son doesn't love his stepmom, son walks out of dad in response: ‘I don't love the family they have created’

Is parental love really unconditional? 

Well, if you take the love between the father and his 19-year-old son in the story below, the answer would be no. This father's love for his son is conditional on how the son feels towards his wife, to whom Dad got married when the son was 10 years old. Despite being quite young when his dad's wife came into his life, the son never felt like she replaced his late mom, and didn't feel a parental connection to her. She respected that, and they formed a friendship that they were both happy about.

The person who was not happy about this friendship was Dad, who wanted a stronger connection between his son and his wife. But he chose to express that by telling his 19-year-old son that it's hard to love him this way. 

Is the only way this dad could love his son if the son showed more affection to his stepmom?

This doesn't feel like a healthy family, which led the son to walk out on his dad and tell his wife what happened between them. Keep scrolling to read the rest of the tale.
