Loneliness is real

T

Gonna be honest, I feel pretty alone sometimes even though I have a wife and kids. Feel like I can't talk to my friends about this stuff because they don't get it. My wife is dealing with her own stuff. My family thinks real men just push through. So I'm just here holding it all in most days. Anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with it?

I get this completely. The other dads I know are going through similar stuff but nobody wants to be first to talk about it. What you're feeling matters and it's okay to reach out, whether that's to friends or someone else.

That feeling is real and you're not alone in feeling it. Even with the family around it can get isolating. Maybe try bringing it up with your wife first, sometimes just saying it out loud helps break the ice.

You're describing something a lot of us feel but don't talk about. Being a parent is isolating sometimes even when you're surrounded by people. Thanks for being honest about it.
