Episode Synopsis

This episode confronts one of the most overlooked truths in our community:Black men are not just perpetrators of emotional abuse—they’re survivors, too.In this deeply honest conversation, Jay Q explores how emotional wounds are often masked by silence, hustle, and ego. We talk about what it means to be a man raised to suppress pain, and how emotional abuse can look like manipulation, abandonment, gaslighting—or never being taught how to express love at all.You’ll hear:The hidden ways emotional abuse shows up in Black men’s livesHow unhealed trauma becomes toxic behaviorThe weight of always being the “strong one”Why many men don’t recognize they’ve been emotionally abusedAnd in honor of Men’s Mental Health Month and Father’s Day, we take it a step further with real, current statistics:💔 Suicide is the third leading cause of death among Black men aged 15–24.🧠 Only about 26% of Black men who experience mental health issues seek therapy.🚫 Barriers like stigma, cost, and cultural mistrust continue to keep Black men from getting help.This one’s not easy—but it’s necessary.For the brothers who never heard “I love you,”For the ones who only know “tough love,”And for the ones trying to rewrite the story…You are not alone.🎧 Now streaming on Apple Podcasts and Spotify📌 Follow @FromTheSouthsideWithLove1 for more
