Joshua J Byrne

I’m a father learning how to rebuild my life after leaving a relationship that did more harm than good. The years of stress, manipulation, and constant emotional tension didn’t just affect me—they shaped the way I showed up for my kids and the way I approached new relationships. I’m working to change that. This space is where I talk honestly about healing from narcissistic dynamics, breaking unhealthy cycles, and becoming a more grounded, present parent. I’m learning how to set boundaries, communicate without fear, and build a healthier future for myself and the people I love. I’m not perfect, and I’m not trying to be. I’m just a dad doing the work—unlearning the damage, protecting my peace, and choosing a better way forward for my children, my partner, and myself. If you’re navigating something similar, you’re not alone. This is my journey toward clarity, healing, and real love.
