Let’s get something straight: Men aren’t broken.They’re boxed in.

Let’s get one thing straight: kids are not born with an innate knowledge of what’s best for them. They are born with needs, instincts, and impulses. It’s your job to help them shape those into something functional and healthy. But that job becomes impossible when you, the adult, are too afraid to do the hard part of parenting—saying no.

Let’s get one thing straight.

Burnout doesn’t always look like a breakdown.Especially in men.

The public charm and private cruelty of narcissistic parenting

There’s a growing trend in mental health circles where anything that feels soothing gets labeled as “trauma healing.” Trauma-informed yoga is one of the biggest culprits. And while stretching and deep breathing have their place, let’s be honest—you’re not going to yoga-pose your way out of PTSD.

You don’t yell.You don’t hit.You don't throw things or belittle her.But sometimes, after weeks or months of walking on eggshells, you snap.

For conservatives who never brought up politics—but got cut off anyway

We live in a world that tries to automate everything—even your pain. Mental health apps promise instant help, clever AI “companions,” and daily affirmations that feel more like bumper stickers than breakthroughs. For men especially, it can be tempting to swipe through a few screens and call it self-care. But let’s be honest: no app can dig deep into your history, challenge your blind spots, or call you out when you’re self-sabotaging. At best, they’re a Band-Aid. At worst, they can keep you stuck. Real healing doesn’t come from algorithms—it comes from direct, honest conversations with someone who gets it.

Growing up with a father who flew off the handle without warning is like living with a loaded gun on the table—no one knows if or when it’ll go off, only that it could. And that’s enough to shape a childhood around fear.
