We all need to be aware of this..
Please share.

isolation removes the people who could support you or challenge what is happening.

You may be experiencing it if your partner:

➡️ Creates arguments whenever you see family or friends

➡️ Makes false claims about people close to you

➡️ Monitors your calls and messages

➡️ Embarrasses you until you stop attending social events

➡️ Prevents you from using transport

➡️ Demands all your free time

➡️ Makes you feel guilty for speaking to anyone else

You may not notice how isolated you have become until you need help. Reconnecting with one trusted person can be an important first step.

Men's Alliance NI are here to help in our online private MANi Support Group (NI), thousands of men who have been there too, drop us an email with a number for support within 24hrs, normally the same day, to [email protected] with any restrictions on times to call. We have got your back, see www.MANi.Support for other regions.

Other services in Northern Ireland to help are the Domestic & Sexual Abuse Helpline available 24hrs a day on 0808 808 1414 and Men's Action Network NI in L/Derry.

The goal isn’t to raise a kid who is perfectly behaved, never talks back, or always does exactly what they’re told.

The goal is to raise a kid who is kind, confident, funny, respectful, emotionally aware, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. ❤️

Because one day, your child won’t be your little kid anymore. They’ll be an adult you get to have a relationship with.

So yes, teach the manners. Set the boundaries. Hold the expectations.

But also… laugh with them. Listen to them. Let them be weird. Give them a voice. Make home a place they actually enjoy being.

You’re not just raising a child. You’re raising the person you’ll someday sit across the table from. 🥹

Not every struggling relationship SHOULD be saved.

But struggling doesn’t automatically mean you chose the wrong person either.

Sometimes two people who still genuinely love each other have simply gotten really fu***ng lost in the way they relate to each other.

And that can be worked on. ♥️

If you’re in that “I love them, but I don’t know how we got here” place, my workbook bundle was made for exactly this.

It’ll help you understand what’s actually creating the disconnection, have the conversations you’ve been avoiding, and start finding your way back to each other.

♥️ Grab the bundle through the link in my bio.

The best dates with your kids don’t have to be expensive. ❤️

Sometimes it’s an ice cream cone, a walk around the neighborhood, pancakes for dinner, or 20 minutes of uninterrupted one-on-one time.

They may forget what you did… but they’ll remember how special they felt being with you. 🥹

Save this for your next kid date! ✨
