It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you my guest blogger Russ Illes, Wicked Housewives On Cape Cod™ radio show host, author, and father extraordinaire, who until his child became critically ill, believed Duct Tape could fix anything. By accessing inner guidance, often above and beyond the five senses, Russ now helps other husbands, brothers and fathers who are still on the same difficult path he once traveled learn why Duct Tape may not fix a broken heart, but other people can. Communication is a key.

Russ Illes: Wicked Duct Tape: Communication
I have been having more and more conversations with men and getting their perspective. I have had 15 years of therapy of some sort of another and still, I have never felt heard. In conversations with other Dads is where I feel heard and validated.
I know that my feelings are not unique. There is, however, a need for us men to create a language in order to discuss how to better deal with crises within the family.
We must be able to communicate without feeling like it would cost us our masculinity.
There is a need for us to create a language to discuss these things without feeling like we have lost the fight-for-life, often our families, before we have even begun to plan.
One of the biggest problem is we often don’t have a plan and are reluctant to ask for help because, after all, are we not the strong protector of the family who can fix anything with a little Duct Tape and determination?
One way to do this is to use the information in my book Duct Tape Won’t Fix This, to help you start the conversation with your wife and family. Read aloud some part that resonates with you and just start there.
Please join the conversation, because you are not alone.
