Father and son relationship

Dear Ate Anna,

My father worked very hard and he was a good provider for our family. But when I was growing up, I didn’t have a very good relationship with him. I didn’t feel close to my father and we didn’t talk much. I was even afraid of my father, because whenever I misbehaved, my mom would say: “Wait till your father gets home!” Now, I have two sons and I don’t want to be like my father. I want to have a better relationship with my sons. Ate Anna, can you please give me some suggestions.

Samuel
