And life has taught me that the 1% of men that open up and trust people and talk about it are not heard understood or accepted the 1% of men that decide to open up and talk about it are labeled as weak, crazy, or needy. That's why 99% of men keep it inside because we don't want to bother normal people in life with a disease that they don't acknowledge. The 1% of men that talk about it have to be cautious how they react because every action is scrutinized and unacceptable. The last post I'm going to post on this page is the first post I should have posted on this page.
For all the fathers that are fighting for other fathers I salute you because nobody else will do it nobody cares if you become a father and nobody cares about how hard you have to fight to become one.or how much pain you have to endure proving that you're worthy and good enough to be a father.
As men you are expected to get up and keep going and take whatever life has to throw at you.
I created this page over a year ago because I had a passion and the drive to help other fathers and similar situations. But that drive and that passion has dwindled because the same support that I want to and tried to give to others I myself also desperately needed support. To the father's that didn't make it but still did their absolute best and reached out for support but never got it. I am sorry.
I don't fault you. I salute you for your courage and determination! Every soldier needs a battle buddy there comes a point and time in war when you might get wounded and you need help up or carried to safety. This has been the hardest fight I have ever had to fight in life. It is a war and you cannot go to war alone without a battle buddy. To the fathers they have felt alone and feel alone I am sorry.
Maybe one day as men and as humans we will learn to be not so judgmental a little selfless instead of selfish.A little more understanding and a little less critical. We need our children and without our children we feel empty and alone. We want to feel worth it so let me tell you you are with it.
