A brief post about my relationship with my son

I recently divorced my son’s mother, and I got full custody of him because she couldn’t even pay her share of child support. He is 6 years old, and I feel like the best man in his life right now, and he’s all the love I have in my life.<br><br>I have a big age gap with him. When I was 25, I had him, so when I turned 30, I was 5 years into being a dad. I’ve had to learn parenting on the fly, and it’s not easy, but it’s so worth it. I know that I’m a good dad, and I’m happy to be in his life. I’ve been with him since the day he was born, and I’ve been there for all of his birthdays, holidays, and everything in between.<br><br>I know I’m not perfect, and there are times when I lose my cool with him. I’ve had to do that sometimes, when he throws tantrums. But I always make sure to apologize afterwards, and explain to him that I love him, and I’m just trying my best. He knows I love him, and he loves me too.<br><br>I’m so proud of him, and I know I’ve made a difference in his life. I’ve been there for him when he’s needed me, and I’ve supported him through everything. He’s such a sweet boy, and I feel so lucky to be his dad.<br><br>I’m grateful for every moment I get to spend with him, and I promise to always be there for him. I know that I’m not a traditional family, but I don’t care. I’m happy with what I have, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love my son more than anything in this world, and I’m so grateful to be his dad.
