Before you can fix your broken relationship with your son, it’s essential to understand the root causes of the issue. Reflect on your behavior and identify areas where you may have contributed to the disrepair. Have you been busy, impatient, frustrated, or controlling? Acknowledge these shortcomings and take responsibility for your actions.
Apologize and Make Amends
A genuine apology can go a long way in mending your relationship. Keep your apology simple and avoid adding conditions or justifications. Instead, focus on your own actions and how you plan to improve moving forward. This will help your son see that you are committed to change and willing to work on rebuilding trust.
