How infidelity, alcohol misuse, and family trauma blow up a life—and what accountability, boundaries, and recovery actually look like.

A candid mental health episode on betrayal trauma, suicidal ideation, and rebuilding without rewriting the past.

Content note: infidelity; alcohol misuse; suicidal ideation; explicit language.

If you’re struggling (U.S.): Call/Text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7).

Episode focus: Josh shares a close friend’s story (with consent)—betrayal, alcoholism, and the mental-health fallout—plus practical tools for stability, co-parenting, and self-respect.

We cover:

Betrayal trauma: how infidelity rewires a family’s nervous system
Alcohol as a coping trap (and exits that work)
Voice after chaos: speaking up vs. staying safe
Protecting kids’ stability without weaponizing them
Accountability without humiliation—repair where possible, boundaries where needed
