“As a parent it is always my goal to be first honest, second truly available and third directive. I want my son to grow up knowing that I will be here for him – unconditionally, and that I have expectations for how he will move in the world. But, at the same time, I want him to know that loving him and supporting his success – even through struggle – are not mutually exclusive. I want him to know along with me the joy and freedom in deep and loving connection within relationship.”
