The Man Cave - Being A Father in a Fatherless Society

Updated: Mar 31, 2021

There are many areas of life that can be affected by the silence of a man. If you’re married it starts playing out in your marriage and communication is vital for the longevity of that journey with your spouse. Once you isolate yourself within yourself, you only hear the voice of yourself, and you now become what you never wanted to be and that’s by yourself in a relationship. If you have kids, it can play on the attention given to them and the time you put into their development (emotionally, physically, spiritually, and also financially). If you have a job, you’ll start to be slack and mishandle the responsibilities that has been placed into your hands. I can only speak from the experiences that I have been afforded. I feel that the harsh reality of why men feel the way they feel and don’t communicate as much as they should is due to not knowing how to really express themselves. Knowing that whom they may express to, may not really understand the intent of where their communication is coming from. You may ask again are you a doctor are you qualified to even speculate or bring information on this subject? My answer is every man that starts to be in-tuned to his feeling and understand that his way isn’t always the right way, allows for this dialogue to be open. I’ve recently started to really get into understanding why I am the way I am. I’ve had hurt throughout my life from a little boy up to the adult that I am now, and I still have to mentally push negativity out of the way to function in purpose.

I’m a reflection of the very thoughts I think of myself. There were many pivotal moments in my life where I didn’t know what I wanted to do in any area of my life. There was a point where I felt as though I didn’t know or realize what my purpose was or desire was, because where I was at that point I was not happy nor satisfied with my progression! But my outer appearance gave the illusion of a whole different perspective. This journey was weighing on the very essence of my mind and I couldn’t get a grip of my surroundings. When your surroundings don’t line up with your inner desires you become out of touch with the very reality you long for. We’re talking about the emotions that goes on in the inside of a person mind and some don’t even know the struggles. I now know why some men can give up mid-stream because they are depleted from the inside. The Man Cave becomes the place of peace, safety, and just a place to hide from the hustle and bustle of life. Some may use a physical room to hide away and others just become silent and reserved from the world. Either way you go you've found safety in your hiding. What are some ways you hide in your Man Cave? In all you feel your Man Cave is not the end, bottling up your emotions can cause health issues, stress, and blow-ups. Let/s see what has caused your man cave and how we can address that issue. Let's Talk!

I have a saying that can be applied to either parent but for this purpose, many fathers are

“ Present but not available or Available and not present”. and this to me is the problem. A Father cannot be or take on the responsibility to be accountable if he isn’t “Present nor Available“.


and this to me is an internal decision regardless of our upbringing environment demographics. The individual must make a decision to be present and available to their children. They may not live in the same household but they can still be present and available to the best of the ability with balance if they’re willing.
