Family, we hear a lot about when a woman decides it's time to leave a marriage. We don't hear nearly as much about when the man says, enough. My brother from another mother, attorney and Broadway producer James Walker, sat down with me and told his uncoupling story, 12 years after he filed.


Everybody saw the picture on the mantle. Home was a different story. When the police came to the door, James says he made the one decision every man needs to hear about: don't lose your cool. Then a sergeant pulled him aside and told him something he never forgot.


In this episode:

• Why he tells young men not to rush into marriage

• The sergeant who said, "You don't raise a boy like that if you're a bad father"

• Why losing your cool can cost you everything

• The bonus daughter who never skipped a beat

• Why divorce is an earthquake for kids, and how to keep being dad

• The tell-all he never posted, and why he listened when God said don't

• From $20K short on a building to $20K on the decorator. See the shift.


Fellas, listen. If you don't share what you're going through, it's going to take you through. Talk to a brother, talk to your pastor, get you a therapist. Like James said, man will let you down, but God won't. Watch the whole thing, then send it to a man who's carrying it all by himself. Flat out.
