Small win but I'm taking it

I went to a dad support group at the library last Tuesday. Didn't say much, just listened, but I'm going back next week. Hearing other guys talk about their struggles was weirdly validating. Like I'm not the only one losing it over stupid stuff or feeling overwhelmed. The guy running it seems chill and there's no pressure to share. Might be small but this feels like a step in the right direction for me.

This is huge honestly. You don't have to be a big talker to get value out of it. Sometimes just being in a room with other dads who get it is enough to feel less alone.

The fact that you're going back next week is what matters. These things compound—each meeting makes it easier to open up a little more. Proud of you for showing up.

Real talk: listening is just as important as talking. You're probably helping other guys by just being present too, even if you don't realize it.
