Whether normal or not, it is good that you do so, because true love should be unconditional. God loved us enough to send His Son to bleed and die for our sins on the cross, even while we were wicked and vile sinners. We should love others in the same manner as God loved us. Jesus teaches us in John 15:13 that there is no greater love that a man has than for a man to lay down his life for his friends(that is not the verse word-for-word, just the basic messege of the verse). You see, God laid His life down for us out of His love for us, even after all of our sins against Him. We should love others regardless of what they have done to us. It may not seem normal, but it is good and right for you to still love this person regardless of what they have done to you(physical, mental, etc.). I hope that this helps. Thank you and may God bless you. :) -In Jesus Christ's Name.

My wife fights with me every day. I get very much irritated, but I know that such a thing is predicted in my astrological chart. Astrology is a fully developed science in India. I have computer software using which I have given astrology predictions to more than 100 persons - 85% of the predictions were accepted as correct. In India, the concept of soul mate is stronger than anywhere else in the world. I accept Karma and my soul mate is the most valuable person to me spiritually. If it is not for her irritating interaction, I may not have developed philosophical quest. The saying "everything happens for a reason" is more readily accepted in India than in other lands.

Yes. Especially with relatives.

My theory is when someone abuses you mentally, you become co-dependant upon this person. As the abuse continues, your way of thinking is warped and it becomes difficult to know what real love is. What is "normal" for one person, may not be so for the next. So each person needs to judge what is "normal" for theirselves. The important thing to concentrate on is your feelings, not the ones who have been persuaded.

Some times we can't stop loving even the pain has been so profound. Some hearts can't help being like that.

It is possible but not normal.Unless you have ultimate mental strength to forgive that person, its a tough thing.

I would say that it is normal, but not necessarily healthy.

Yes because the goal of a psychological abuser is to make you feel this way. Or, in a lighter sense, anyone who has had their mental health affected by another person will have distorted or abnormal feelings, because the mind is tied to the heart, and this is normal if you're in this situation. I hope that makes sense, above all don't let an abuser hurt your mental health...it's the most important part of your body you should protect. May I ask how you were harmed?
