A father-son relationship is strong, like no other teammates. You could be straightforward with one another.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The dynamic of fathers and sons seems to be more around competition regarding things such as knowledge, accomplishments, expertise.
I think in any relationship, even in the healthiest of relationships, we are all parents to each other at times. I think that's a normal, healthy sort of relationship. I think there are times when we're each a mother and a father when we need to be.
I had a great dad and we had a great relationship, but he's still a part of my life.
If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.
Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.
Every father and son have conflicts.
Each father wants their sons to be just like them, really.
My relationships with both my mother and father are good. We spent several difficult years hashing over the problems and the past, and worked out a fairly solid middle ground. I wouldn't say my relationship with either of them - they're no longer together - is exactly typical, but that would be difficult after all we went through.
Anyone who reads my work will see that there are often difficult relationships between fathers and sons.
The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex.
