I can’t win for losing.

Maybe the damage from the past is too much. What I do know is that at this point I need to focus on myself and my son.


Hey BB,

I just wanted to make an observation as your words struck me. Not being critical at all, but I was pretty much the opposite of the dynamic you describe in the first paragraph, yet here we both are.

I think a balance is key. Not too far in either spectrum, what Dr Robert Glover calls the 'integrated male'.

Cheers, DS
