Bio

Grew up with a single narcissistic mother and working through many forms of trauma from that, as well as addressing the mental and physical health conditions that came because of it

I have a special interest in neuroscience, particularly reptiles, and like reading scientific papers to learn more about neurology and my personal interests

...See more I married out of over 20 years of severe narc abuse, only to find out that my in-laws are also narcs. Thankfully we ended up getting disowned by them when they started a conflict and weren't prepared for me to push back, as opposed to their kids being conditioned to let it all happen. Now I'm a year in and the chronic health problems from living in such extreme stress constantly and the medical neglect are still surfacing, I'm having constant nightmares revolving around the same four themes, and I think I'm going to have to address some repressed memories of possible s*xual abuse from an age I may be too young to remember to begin with. Heap on a good bit of religious trauma with all that from both sides. I'm so overwhelmed by everything I have to process and it seems like every day I'm finding more and more problems that I need to heal from, more mannerisms that stemmed from the abuse, more mental and physical health conditions that probably could have been prevented or at least managed better before they got this bad. I know my SO is also dealing with similar things and I feel bad, but I just don't have the emotional or mental space to be able to properly support them most of the time. I don't even know how to help myself to be honest.
