I Don't Want To Talk About It

Bol Partner

This is one of the most important and straightforward books ever written about men. Depression has long been identified as an ailment that is widespread in western society. Yet, until recently, very few people have focused on depression in men. In this powerful and inspiring book, Terence Real shows how many men, feeling the stigma of depression's 'unmanliness', conceal their condition not only from their families and friends but also from themselves. Attempts to escape depression fuel many of the problems we think of as typically male, difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behaviour and rage. Real teaches us how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves and restore relationships. He offers great wisdom, hope and practical guidance for them and their families.

I Don't Want to Talk About It takes readers on a mother-and-son journey across the rocky terrain of child sexual abuse, homophobia, and living and dying with HIV/AIDS. The direction of Tony Carden's short life was determined by two pandemics: child sexual abuse and HIV/AIDS. Unlike the compassion shared with victims of today's COVID 19 pandemic, vilification was the burden borne by those who contracted HIV/AIDS and silence the lot of sufferers of child sexual abuse. On both occasions Tony's response to his anxious mother was: 'I don't want to talk about it.'
