I've made sure that I don't do any of the same things with my son that my parents did with me. Course, my parents love telling me how I'm not raising my son right, like "you were raised"........heck, then I'm glad it's all wrong.

My son is very comfortable with me, we communicate, and he knows how well loved he is - he's a very special person and I tell him that all the time.

You'll do fine, I'm sure.
