If, both the father and his son, can act sensible and try to find out the reason behind acts done by each one of them then they can surely enjoy a peaceful and wonderful relationship.
I must highlight one fact that needs to be taken care of, by both the father and his son. I have seen many situations where the only reason behind a souring father-son relationship was the inability to express the ‘hidden’ love, care, and affection. While I have seen many sons expressing their love for mothers with affectionate hugs, acknowledgement of presence, Mother’s Day cards, and many more things, I really do not find many sons doing the same from their father.
One of the greatest reasons behind such acts is the reluctance of the father to accept the hugs, gifts, and cards, like the mother. I am sorry to say but I have to, that some fathers treat these love-expressing things as unnatural or waste of money. And, when their children do not repeat these relationship-boosting acts, fathers think that their children do not love or respect them any more.
The best way out
The best way to handle this kind of a situation would be a wholeheartedly acceptance by the father and communicating to the child that he treasures the love and affection as much as he treasures the son.
We all know that the three magical words ‘I Love You’ can cast a spell but do fathers and their sons really say these words to each other and if yes, is the communication on a regular basis? Well if that was the case, I would not have chosen to write on this topic ever.
Anyways, it is time to leave the bitterness of the past and cherish this beautiful relationship.
