Cries of a broken man and screams of a broken woman are one in the same but expressed differently. Cries of a Broken Man is a closed off discussion due to our men being raised to not show their emotions as it's a sign of weakness. This is far from the truth. Men are human too and should be able to share their emotions due to them having feelings. Men need to understand; yes you are the protector, provider, and leader of the household. However, know it is okay to express yourself. Screams of a Broken Woman stems from women having to carry the world on their shoulders. At the same time, being unable to let out the screams that would pierce the ears to the person next to her. Behind the screams, she's trying to tell you something but all she knows is how to scream due to the frustration of not being heard or being misunderstood. Behind those screams, is a woman trying to tell you something but with built up frustration and being misunderstood; she isn't heard. Take a moment to learn more from these amazing authors expressing themselves; seek listening ears in hopes of communicating clearly to those who seek to understand the misunderstood.
