Men go through a lot.

A marriage gone quiet. A separation. The stuff you carry on your own and don't say out loud. Pick the door that fits tonight. I've been through my share.

We all go through the same stuff. We just deal with it differently.

That's why hearing another bloke tell it straight can show you something about your own life. And when you know you're not alone, and that you're completely normal (sort of), you feel better.

Alex. Father of five. Divorced, rebuilt, remarried. Not a lawyer. Not a helpline. Just what worked, written plain, for the man in the kitchen at 11pm who doesn't know what to do next.

What this is. Plain help for what men actually go through: the marriage that's gone quiet, the separation, the job, the mate you lost, the stuff you carry on your own. The idea is to catch it early, soften it when it comes, and get you and your kids through it in one piece. Short guides, moves you can use tonight, one note a week. I run it from Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands, for men anywhere in Australia. Every email comes from me, and I read every reply.

One honest note a week.

Thursdays. One idea you can use that night. Written by Alex, read by a few hundred men who give a damn.
