Reading through all these profiles is a lot huh? Listen, you already know that something is wrong, you already know it’s a cycle, and you already know that something has got to change. Your wife or your gal has already told you that if you don’t stop, she is leaving you, your job is probably tripping, you have already pissed off your family members, and now you’re here. You know what? That’s alright, it’s part of the process. I had to go through it myself. However, as men, that is the only way that some of us are going to learn, especially some us black men. You can do it! Breaking the cycle is possible, I am living proof of that.

Having to be strong, tough, and on all the time can be draining. Compound all of that with having to do it while hiding your emotions can be doubly stressful. Black men are raised to be resilient and silent, to take what life throws at you without complaining “Just Man Up!”. Being raised to be strong was the message. Weakness is not to be shown or felt. Now when you’re upset or overwhelmed you have nowhere to turn for help.
