Therein might be the problem, and that would be definitely something you should work through because it is bound to affect how you parent your son. It may be affecting your ability to set clear and consistent boundaries with your son (or some other issues along that line), and therapy to a) work on your fears and anxieties about that, and b) learn how to have more confidence and skill in working with your son will go a long way toward correcting these issues now, when they truly are much more easily correctable than a few years down the road when patterns of behavior are much harder to correct. Find a therapist who has experience working with parenting skills/children so that your therapy hits all of those dynamics.
