Mom Treading Water (The Imperfect Mom)

Good Dad and Good Husband: Understanding and Communicating From His Perspective

Melissa Libby/James Libby Episode 55

My husband, James, is the best husband, dad, and man.   If you have any doubts about good men, be sure to check out Single Moms, Why Is It Hard to Find a Good Man?

As we celebrate one year of Mom Treading Water, he and I discuss what makes a good dad and a good husband. 

He is supportive of me as his wife,  mother of his children, and a woman embarking on a new venture.    

Openly, he reminds me that sometimes the work and dedication as a father, husband, and primary breadwinner has its own set of stresses and challenges.   Communicating and understanding his perspectives has reminded me of his value and that as a mom, I don’t do it alone.  

If you or someone you love might be in an abusive situation, there is help. No one deserves to be in an abusive relationship.

National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 by chat; call 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) or text “START” to 88788
