It wasn't as easy or quick as it sounds when I say it now. I had to let go of some ingrained expectations and hopes about how our relationship as father and son would be. I think we were very different people with different life experiences. It was not easy to say it is never going to change. It was very painful but reinventing my life was a way out of the pain.
