In 5-10 years I want a family. I want to have my own life. For years I have always felt I must be the parent. That I had to grow up and focus on others. I know I had an amazing childhood but I can’t remember a single part. All I remember is the painful memories. I can’t even be alone with my mom without fighting or she getting upset with me. My father's talk only turned into a lecture and about him. I want to go to therapy. My family has alway taken therapy as something bad. I want to finally have someone I can talk to and not stay quiet when I cry. To have a person who can finally understand me and what I'm saying. I don’t want my issue or the way I have taken my family to pass them on to my family. I want my wife to not have to feel like she has to carry anything because of my past issues. I want to finally focus on myself but living on my own and finally be able to not worry about others. My entire life has always been surrounded by my siblings, family and school. I have felt suffocated in my own life. I want to be free. I want my kids to feel ok with talking with their parents and not having to be worried about anything and they stay as kids. In those years I want to face my issues and get them through my head because they have affected me some hard. I don’t want to see that in my own family. I don't want my kids to be afraid to ask me for help. For me I can’t even say I love you to my family because of the lack of times I have heard it. I don’t feel the love behind it and it just became an empathy word for me. I don’t want my family to know what that's like. So if unpacking these feeling and crying through it all will help, I will do it. It is something I have been leaving off for years now and I want to face it all. I have to face it.

After discussing "The Man Box" I want you to look at popular media and find an example of a character that embodies toxic masculinity or the man box. Look at your favorite TV Shows, Cartoons, Movies, Pop-music, or any other media you consume for one example of these figures being propped as what a man should be. You need to explain how the media is glorifying toxic masculinity in text, audio, or video (choose one).
