For self-reliant, confident dads, not talking can be our default response. We don’t want to burden others or weaken our resolve by focusing on emotional issues.

But this kind of isolation is the key indicator of fathers getting stuck in despair or worse, suicide. Physical and emotional separation might feel better in the moment, but it causes decay in EVERY area of life and is what makes depression worse.

Today we discuss the importance of talking, and two key ways to resist isolation without letting the struggle overtake our world.
