The Father-Son Relationship

1. Few male relationships are more significant than the father-son relationship.

2. This has been shown to affect the adult son’s parenting style, emotional wellbeing, and attitudes towards sex and sexuality.

3. If the father’s main role has been that of financial provider then that defines the way he’s seen by his son. That is, his success is tied in to how much he provides (and if he fails to provide then his son will lose respect).

4. If he has mainly been viewed as an authoritarian disciplinarian (that is, as someone who is harsh, rigid, controlling and over-bearing) then his son is likely to feel stifled and trapped, and eventually this will lead to conflict and a show down.

5. If the father has been physically and emotionally absent – and has tried to appease his guilty conscience by being overly-indulgent and permissive then the son will often be irresponsible, selfish, demanding and immature.

6. The ideal father is one who helps his son to set and realise his goals. These are goals which match his son’s gifts, inclinations, interests and passions. In this way, he is able to fulfil his true potential.

7. A healthy father-son relationship is based on mutual respect, sharing time and activities together, and being able to communicate in non-defensive ways. Thus, the son knows he is loved and his father’s there for him – while believing he can “do it” and succeed in life, as well.
