There was a time when I felt like I was just surviving—going through the motions as a man, and honestly, struggling to be the father my kids deserved. I loved them more than anything, but I didn’t always know how to show it in the right ways. I didn’t grow up with the best example, so I was trying to figure it out as I went, and some days, I felt lost.
Then I found Carter’s Corner.
At first, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought maybe it would just be another place handing out advice. But what I found was something real—people who genuinely cared, who didn’t judge me, and who understood what I was going through. They helped me dig deep, face some things I had buried, and taught me how to be more present, more intentional, and more patient—not just with my kids, but with myself too.
Because of Carter’s Corner, I’ve become a better listener. I’ve learned how to communicate with love, how to handle tough moments with grace, and how to lead by example. I’m not perfect, but I’m proud of the father I am today. My kids see it. I feel it.
Without Carter’s Corner, I honestly don’t know where I’d be. They gave me the tools, the encouragement, and the brotherhood I didn’t even know I needed. And for that, I’m forever thankful.
