The most painful question to be asked

ep 1: Your dad’s on life support. Do you turn it off? All eyes are on you to make the ultimate decision. What do you do? 

Alexander Lindsay was struggling with burnout. Having just left the job he loved, he received a phone call nobody is ever prepared for.

On getting to the hospital Alexander found himself in a room with both his mum, and his dad’s lover. But with doctors needing answers, this was no time for family drama. 

As the oldest male in the family, all eyes are on you. Would you decide to take your dad off life support to see if he survives by himself? 

Today we discover how he dealt with the situation. And ask, has Alexander’s perception of masculinity changed after the pressure of that decision?

Alex Melia, and the Stories of Men team are on a mission to uncover what it means to live an independent and meaningful life. We'll be sharing this knowledge with you every week.

We’d like to extend our appreciation to today’s guest Alexander Lindsay. Their openness, candour, and bravery in retelling this tough moment in their life for us is awe inspiring.

It's a vital part of the puzzle, as we try to piece together what it means to be a man in today’s world.
