First timer, small introduction of myself

[BetterDaysAhead]

Hello all!

I'm a southern male and adult who is recovering from addiction. I spent over a decade from age 17 on abusing myself, and running from my problems.

I am right in the middle of rebuilding my life, but what led me here is my M has diagnosed NPD, my F Shows signs (he's more adjusted)

I am engaged with the love of my life, and get family is pretty much the same picture. My FIL is a war vet who also has hoarding tendencies pretty badly.

While I know the easiest option is to get our own place, we have been cycling back and forth taking care of both families, as they are all elderly and possibly nearing end of life.

I have read a few boards and realized this is where I need to be. I have 1 year clean, and recent events, getting our own place is further away now than before. So right now, we must live with one family.

I will be posting more in this forum, as I need someone's experience who can show me how to live with our families. I'm basically minimum contact with my M if at all possible currently.

I appreciate and I feel each and every post I have read in my bones. It's nice to know there's a place such as this to turn to for support.

Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you're all having a beautiful day in some way.
