Love as unconditional is irrational though. In practice if love were unconditional then an abuser would be able to say they love their victim and the victim would have to love their abuser.

Its not irrational. Only humans dont understand it, else look at animals.
They dont want their kids to take care of them when they grow old, they dont keep expectations from their kids to make them proud, they still take care of them whole heartedly, they still would fight even their predators and death to save their babies even when they won't give them anything in return.
Similarly nature loves us unconditionally and gives us everything. Air, water, etc but still we say that UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS IRRATIONAL AND IMPRACTICAL.
May be we don't understand love yet !!
And talking about victim and abuser, a person who doesn't love himself cannot love someone else. If he allows himself to be abused, then it's not love in the first place at all !!!

You are talking about parent/child relationship, not partner/partner unrelated adults.
So how does this translate? Yes of course mothers and fathers are capable of unconditional love toward their babies. But this doesn't mean this applies to husband and wife, or girlfriend and boyfriend, or adult partner and adult partner.
How do you make it rational for two adults?

Haha we just need those eyes to recognize LOVE dear.
You can find examples of true love everywhere if you observe nature. Animal parents were an example, you can even take animal partners. Do they have an agreement? Do they deal or make promises? Do they abuse each other? No!!!! There is immense love between them that they stay together without any of these !! They stay together because they WANT TO.
Who taught them all this? Noone !!! But still they care for their kids TOGETHER. If the mother takes care in a cave, the father goes out and prey !!! See, there is UNDERSTANDING, they understand their responsibilities without any promises. They don't fight & argue that you would do this and I would do that !!!
Can you see the level of understanding between an animal couple? There is so much to learn from nature @dana-edwards !!! We just need to detach from our humanly mind !!
