As men, how do we get ourselves to a place that allows us to fully admit we need help? Many times us guys struggle to realize our own emotions.

Industrial Fear Machine
Each of us is engaged in a David vs Goliath fight on a daily basis for control of our own brains and I’d venture to say most of us don’t even know it. As parents, this battle is even more important because our kids don’t stand a chance of understanding the forces working against them.
