I want him to understand that his mother is in a time of conflict with herself.

I want him to understand that life is difficult, but we perservere.

I want him to feel safe that his mother and father will always be here for him.

I want him to understand that I love his mother very much.

I want him to know that he can come to me with any concerns and that any questions he has for me are OK.

I want him to know that our father/son relationship is safe and open.

I do not want him to think horrible things about his mother.

I do not want him to think every time conflict happens in a R, it means something bad.

I do not want him to have a terrible, distorted view of love and happiness. He is, after all, just now trying to figure these things out for the first time.

I do not want him to focus so much energy on our problems that he cannot explore his own issues as he is growing up.

Most importantly, I want him to feel loved, supported, and safe in his environment.
