Gone are the days where there is a married couple with kids, a cat, a dog and a mortgage. Where mum stays home and bakes while dad works a 9–5 job and is home to coach little Jimmy’s soccer team on Saturday. Nobody wanted to really know about the relationship between Aunt Mable and her lifelong friend Gayle who have lived and done everything together for 50 years. Shame on little Betty for getting herself knocked up out of wedlock, and divorce was something you didn’t do. “What an uncomplicated life,” some might say. Sounds a bit narrow minded to me…
I think it’s fair to say there is no... Read more

Unlike the past, where fathers were more inclined to be distant, fathers today are seeking to share parenting responsibility, strive for a better balance between work and home and to be there to encourage, support and believe in their children.
Fathers bring different things to parenting, things that are unique and irreplaceable in the way they show consistency,... Read more

Read over the following statements and answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ as they relate to your life.
Are you feeling fatigued, dejected, ‘down’?
Is every day an uphill battle?
Do you feel ‘numb’ and like a robot who is going through the motions?
Do you have trouble sleeping (when you get the chance) and then not want to get out of bed?
Do you think that nothing ever seems to work out; that there is no light at the end of the tunnel…..just work, the bills, the pressure to get the job done, and your partner and kids complaining that you are never around, and when you are that you never do enough and... Read more

One unworldly and innocent, the other carrying hurts from the past, motivating a need to feel powerful and in control. Do we always fall in love with the right person or make wise logical choices when we are infatuated or attracted to someone? Love can sometimes take us by surprise and we can desire someone for many different reasons. The drive we feel to connect with another person is essentially ‘... Read more
