Acknowledging Your Failures as a Parent | Strengthening Your Relationship with Your Child

13 minutes

Adam tells a story about how he was a bit of a hypocrite, when a week before Thanksgiving, he experienced one of the most powerful moments between himself and Patty. Adam chewed Patty out for not having prepared well enough for their hunting trip, but after they went out on the trip, Adam realised that he hadn’t prepared well enough either, making him feel like a big hypocrite. He had a big moment where they were able to get totally raw and real, which really strengthened their bond as father and son.

“We spent about 45 minutes talking and I said ‘Patty, all those things that I had said to you, I did on a much bigger scale. I hadn’t prepared, I was lacking in confidence, and all these sorts of things I just hadn’t done.’ It was just so powerful for us to sit down and, like I cried, he cried, and it was just a really special moment for us to spend together.” 4:20
