September 04, 2022 Death Part II: Mother
This will be a very different story to the previous episode about my father. Not least because it's about my mother. No, because our relationship wasn't great and there was very little emotion. It's hard to fully unpack this relationship in fifteen minutes so, who knows, I may come back to this one at some point. This relationship definitely impacted on my MENtal Health.

August 21, 2022 Bet you I win
No, it's not sour grapes or being a sore loser. It's about why men need to be competitve in the first place. It's about bad winners. There are too many men who are incapable of playing a board game or sport without it being about winning or scoring points, and this is quite bad for MENtal health. See what you think.

August 14, 2022 Pregnancy and Fatherhood
Ok, pregnancy is solely the woman's domain. But men play a part in this too. Not all men are inept and incapable and we can also struggle and suffer in completely different and unknown ways during these nine months. And beyond. But men also need a voice during this time and are often disregarded because we're reminded to think of what the woman is going through. Hopefully I can tell enough stories about myself here that will shed light on why men need some TLC too.
