It is not easy going through life as a man unable to fix a leaky faucet or tinker with a mechanical device to get it in working order. Nor, looking back on my childhood, is it fun being a kid who can’t climb a rope in gym or build a tabletop cart in woodworking class. Those failings made me feel worthless at an early age, compounding the fact that (unknown to me at the time,) I was predisposed to mental health issues given a family history of depression and other behavioral disorders.
