Hello, I'm gargoylemoss (Introduction)

[gargoylemoss]

Hello everybody!


I found this forum through a link on the issendai blog, and decided to join.

I was born to a mother with NPD and BPD, who favored my equally tempered little sister, and made me the scapegoat.

I have been estranged since 2022 and live together with my partner, who has a very similar upbringing to me and is my biggest catalyst in even considering estrangement, and whose love gave me the contrast to recognize the dysfunction of my family of origin.

I am mostly bedbound due to highly somatized trauma and am very slowly recovering, but there are definitely steps back in between.

My hobbies include cross stitch, digital art, music, and writing. I am interested in esoteric/spiritual/religious topics, but see them as an addition to my worldview, rather than a replacement for science or reason. 

I live in Europe, and wish to be lucky enough to live with a cat someday.

That's it for now, I hope this gave you an idea about who I am. Thank you for reading!

It's been a long time since I've been on a classic forum like this, so finding my pace and style will be interesting.
