For some reason, there’s this very bad stereotype that single or divorced moms are desperate, lonely, and dying for someone to take care of them. Yet I have never once heard someone claim this of a single or divorced dad.
Enough already. I’m shattering the myth today:

Sisters’ Doin’ It For Themselves,
True, women are often the ones who initiate divorces or separations. I think too often, men are expected to be “strong” and “brave” and feel they need to suffocate any emotions and hide their pain. Both perceptions are damaging for men and women alike.
I don’t necessarily agree that women initiate divorce– I would need stats from a reliable source to agree with that broad statement, but I 100% agree people expect men to be strong and brave in all emotional scenarios including divorce. That is not helpful for men or women. Agreed! Thanks for reading and commenting!
