For many men, once the role of husband and father are assigned, it is a responsibility that is received with great seriousness. Unfortunately when divorce occurs after years of marriage, not only are men processing the end of the relationship, but they're also struggling to recalibrate the duties of in-home father, and shedding the identity of husband they've spent those years building. In episode 51, DJ iRule shares his story of being married for the majority of his adult life, how divorce strained his relationship with his children, and ultimately how the unorthodox road he's travelled has lead to understanding.
