"I wouldn't wish that on anybody. You're just thrown into a situation where you've got to deal with the school run for instance.

"Your appreciation for mothers and how they cope and how they deal with the school run.

"I thought I was playing a big part of the school run but I son realised there's so many things that we as men don't even consider.

"What I've learnt along the journey is talking is so important. My children need to see me talk and show emotion. Talking doesn’t make the pain go away but it does help."
