Defusing father-son conflict

Family
Family relationship

The relationship between a father and his son oscillates between admiration and rivalry, and it is not uncommon for it to lead to confrontations.

  • Whether it's an Oedipus complex, learning to be an authority figure, or being disappointed with their respective expectations, there are many reasons why father-son conflicts can arise.
  • As a mom, you can play a positive role in easing tensions.
  • To do this, communicate with each of them separately to let them know that character differences are part of any relationship.
  • Give them the opportunity to share fun time, just the two of them, around a common passion.
  • Emphasize the love that unites you.

I wish more then anything the father of my son cared and love the both of us. It breaks my heart to know someone I loved so much never loved me and lied to me so much. And regrets me having our son.

I felt this way about my son father. He would deny my son slept with other women basically in front of me and expect me to deal with it all which I was pregnant I even had my son alone and had to pay 200$ to literally bring him from another city after I told him not to go as I knew our son was coming and my son came out looking just like him now he wants to be in his life it took a lot of me but I didn’t want to be a bitter baby mom and rob that opportunity from my son being with his dad because I know how important this especially because I wasn’t able to have my dad in my young life so it will get better at least I pray so just stick with your support group it will help a lot as it did with me

My sons father didn’t have a middle name and wanted him to be the 3rd… I gave him the same name but put my fathers name in the middle to compromise. Maybe switch it around a little?

My son father has met him yet and doesn't really ask about him unless I randomly send a pic. 💔
