Hello, I’ve grown up around cheaters, liars, abusers(I’m speaking about the men specifically) and everything similar in between growing up. My own bio dad, My grandpa, my stepdad and some other family and things of that nature. How do I raise “good men” ? Any tips? Would putting them into activities help? Showing them how to be empathetic? I’m fully curious because I just want them to be better than what I’ve grown up around. Any tips?

How did you guys just decide “okay imma go ahead and do it” instead of being fearful?

Hi, I (female,22) have two kids. One that’s two and one that is 7 months old. Which makes me 7 months postpartum, I’m going through this weird random patch of being insecure and not wanting to go out, be seen by anybody and just be fully covered up and in the house. I’m isolating to the fullest degree and haven’t even wanted to take a walk outside. My confidence has went completely down the toilet, I feel alone but am isolating and WANT to be lonely and I’m crying more than usual. But I don’t necessarily feel depressed, I’ve had PPD before and it was pretty bad, this doesn’t feel like that. I’m not sure WHAT this feels like. Any advice? How can I get back to my usual? How can I fix this funk? Has anyone ever felt similarly?
