You love your kid. Some days you barely recognize yourself.
If becoming a dad has left you tired, flat, and quietly not okay, you’re not broken, and you’re not the only one. This is a place to say so.

01 / Recognition
Is this you?
Nobody warned you fatherhood could feel like this. Everyone checks on the baby. Then on mom. Almost nobody asks how you’re doing, and after a while, you stop expecting them to.
You don’t have to be in crisis for this to be for you. Worn down and not quite yourself is enough.
“I love being a dad. I kind of hate my life.”
“I’m a worse version of myself than I was a year ago.”
“My marriage is fine, I think. But we haven’t really been close in months.”
“I have everything I’m supposed to want. Why do I feel like this?”
“I’m probably fine. But I don’t actually feel fine.”
02 / Start somewhere
Wherever you’re at, there’s a way in.
No pressure to commit to anything. Start with whatever feels manageable today.
