    If feel like us guys are at a disadvantage here. All our lives were are told not to complain unless we bring a solution, not to cry, get up, keep moving.

    Then suddenly the thought pattern we have been trained on all our lives turns out to not be healthy for supporting others and it’s a hard transition to make when we want so desperately to help and are asked not to.

    Not saying it’s wrong, just hard.

      Listening is helping. It took me a while to get that, but we’re helping just by being quiet.
