Father-Son

I've got a lot in common with my father =, we both look alike, we both play football, we both grew up in Evanston, and we share similar interests. Even with all these things in common we are distant. Distant in terms of communication, growing up my dad never talked to me about his relationship with his father and him growing up. It's a distance between us and we are both concious of it but do little to nothing to try to change the fact. It's a void in my life and hopefully I'm more open with my son. Me going on 17 I think it's too late to address the issue as I will be out on my own in two years. I think it is unfortunate but nobody's life is perfect. On the flip side my dad has been with me my whole life and has took care of me my whole life.

    So, when you move out and are on your own, you won't try and keep in touch with your father?

    thats good you maintain a good relationship with your father. many people barley know their father and you live with yours some this is differnt for most who live in a single parent home.

    I think that as long as you live, you'll have the chance to talk with your Father more often. Your Father may decide to open up to you later on.

    yes, there is always a possibility that your father will open up to you with some experience or expectation later in life.

    Here's when the issue of being there and actually being THERE for your children comes into play.
