Thank you. Perhaps the best thing a man can do, in this area, is not to look for someone that he can safely talk to but to become someone that others can safely talk to. More so to actually encourage men around us to talk to us and for us to just listen while avoiding trying to fix stuff. I am thankful that I have friends in my life that i completely trust. They truly care about me. I think they feel the same about me. They know I love them and that I am there for them. It has added so much more meaning to my life. I am grateful

I’m so sorry for what your family is going through. Your perspective here is so valuable. I’m also a child of the 70s/80s, “effortlessly stoic”, and generally upbeat. I hope I’m not being an unrealistic role model for my two sons…
