 I was ‘almost in state of breakdown’ when my first marriage broke up – Yousaf
==========

First Minister Humza Yousaf revealed that he sought professional help and was almost in a 'state of breakdown' when his first marriage ended. Yousaf, who was transport minister from 2016 to 2018, attributed a 'lack of boundaries' as a contributing factor to the end of his marriage. He advised Labour leader Keir Starmer to establish boundaries early on in family life and politics. Yousaf remarried in 2019 and now prioritizes family time, allocating Monday evenings for his daughter's bedtime routine. He also discussed the stigma around male mental health and how seeking help was the best thing he ever did.
