“If I love my child, then that means I also trust my child, right? If she says she didn’t cheat on the test, and if I love her, then I have to trust her, right? You can’t have love without trust.” Short answer to mom’s question: the rules of love between parent and child are different from the rules between adults. Maybe it’s true that love between adults requires blind trust. It’s certainly not true of a parent’s love for a child.
