Most men don’t talk about it.
Some don’t know how.
Others were never shown it mattered.
This is for the dads who stay silent.
The ones who show up anyway.

This isn’t a parenting blog.
There are no “10 hacks to be a better dad” here.

The Weight of the World: A Journey Through the Pressure We Carry
