As to your second part - is sort of see the back and forth like this .
You "We are supporting men who are carers"
Me "What about men who aren't carers?"
You "perhaps look into being carers"
This is the opposite of an empowerment message. You're saying if they want support they must conform to being you.
I don't want anything from you sir. You represent no one and nothing. I was merely contradicting your statements that the two things you mentioned are being done for men, when in fact they're being done to men.
What do I want from you? To acknowledge that becoming carers and being acknowledged as having mental issues isn't a solution for anyone.
And also : you say you don't want anything from me, and then you say you want me to acknowledge your pain? The first step here is for you to acknowledge that you are in pain, you are distressed, and you need some help.
I dont want you to acknowledge pain, I want you to acknowledge that your initial statement was wrong.
Your emoting at me there wasn't really part of intelligent discussion.
Reading this discussion convinces me you are in need of help. I urge you to get it from a professional before you hurt someone.
and for those who aren't carers, perhaps look to being carers.
All categories are filled with subsets. There are always folks left behind. Let's look to them.
What are the struggles and needs that you would like us to focus on and meet?
