For three years you have made a contribution to his life. those three years are often the most difficult that a person lives through. Everything changes, his relationships with his peers, his parents, with girls. Even his body goes through huge changes. Change can be very difficult. It is also a period when the climate of cruelty amongst peers can be its worst, with name calling and picking on eachother to establish a social pecking order. Boys often lose their self confidence at this age, even if they try desperately to hide that fact from the rest of the world. You have helped your boy through all of this, and recived satisfaction in doing so. That is the point of loving boys. Your relationship with him will probably change over the next few years, but it does not have to disapear. A father has a different relationship with an adult son than he does with a pubesent son, but the relationship should remain strong and intact. Your relationship may move from one of love to one of deep friendship. But it will or at least should remain as a strong relationship. No people will not understand, so we must keep so many of our feelings hidden, but god does understand. |
