YOU MAY RECOGNISE YOURSELF HERE
Parenthood isn't always what you expected.
Perhaps you've found yourself:
- Constantly worrying about your partner, baby, finances, or the future
- Feeling overwhelmed by responsibility
- Becoming more irritable, angry, or withdrawn
- Struggling to enjoy things you used to enjoy
- Feeling disconnected from your partner
- Questioning whether you're coping as well as you should be
- Feeling guilty for struggling when others seem happy
Many men believe they should simply "get on with it."
But becoming a father can challenge your sense of identity, confidence, relationships, and emotional wellbeing in ways few people talk about.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
