I Wish You Weren't My Son; I Wish You Weren't My Dad Overcoming a Toxic Relationship

Father-son relationships are not always perfect, and many sons are not trying to be their father's best friend. As they get older, they find that they just don't like their fathers, and that for a good reason, because fathers tend to be dismissive of anything their sons do, as well as being bullies. Fathers, like mothers, are not perfect beings by any means, and often fall short of their sons' expectations when it comes to their relationship. These war torn relationships between fathers and sons is what I am addressing in "I Wish You Weren't My Son, I Wish You Weren't My Dad - Overcoming A Toxic Relationship." The only way to heal a strained and out of control father-son relationship that is toxic is by getting to the root, or to the heart, of the problem. For dads, it's something about their sons that just rubs them the wrong way, like their attitude. For the sons, they are tired of the fathers' dismissive and bullying ways.
