The Path I Show You; An Honest Reflection

What I share with you here is a set of practices, viewpoints, tools and skills that will empower you to enjoy the close relationship you want with your children through having a respectful, co-operative coparenting relationship with your ex.

Everything I offer you I know to be effective through first hand experience, trial and error and numerous successes and failures. I have been on this journey for the last thirteen years. What I experience in my own life and family is that when I use these principles, approaches and mindsets, my family works. When I fall back into old, familiar, ordinary patterns of consciousness, speaking and action, breakdowns occur, and I am left dealing with the impact of this; disharmony between myself and my children's mother, and the knock on effect this has on our children.

I'd like to say to you I've mastered everything I share with you here. The truth is, some days are better than others. Sometimes I get to know and experience myself as the father, parent and person I know I can be. Other days I make mistakes, act from my blindspots and generally mess things up.

What I am growing to accept is that this is a journey, a commitment, a practice. The work is never finished. So I now give up any sense of striving to be perfect, accept my humanity and all my flaws and imperfections, and choose to love and accept myself just as I am.

This path is one of recommitting each day, each hour, each moment, to who I choose to be and what I stand for, for myself and others. I passionately believe that it is best for our children to have close, loving relationships with both their parents, and that a healthy relationship between the mother and father is an important foundation for kids to experience true stability and wellbeing.

I am dedicated to achieving this in my family, and committed to supporting you to experience the same in yours. I am honoured to share this journey with you.

Try living from this standpoint: "I choose to be 100% responsible for the quality of all my relationships". What would that make possible?

My passion is to know and express myself, in relation to my situation with my kids, as someone who is Loving, Joyful, Accepting, Blessing and Grateful. (I thank Neale Donald Walsch for describing these in his writings, Conversations with God, Book 1). This is an ongoing journey and I sometimes make mistakes along the way.

My purpose is to support other men to be and do the same.
