It is true that someone needs to provide and protect, it’s a sense that many men have. It is also true that it is a tough and difficult world, and each of us guys are imperfect. That is no new news for anyone, but it is also not the last word. It won’t take care of every issue and situation, but the first step is to show up. To show up for yourself, for your peace of mind, for your relationships and for your kids. Showing up is the first step not getting shut out.
