Just joined a dad support group at the Y and wow

Went to my first meeting Tuesday night. 8 of us sitting around talking about parenting stress, anxiety, feeling isolated—and nobody tried to fix anything or tell me to "just relax." Just listened. One guy's dealing with custody stuff, another's struggling with anger management like me, one's on antidepressants and was totally open about it. It's only once a month but I'm actually looking forward to the next one. If you're on the fence about trying a group, just go. Worst case you sit with some dudes for an hour.
