This is a beautiful introduction, @byn. I am moved that you work to not only break the cycle from your family, but to help others change their family patterns as well. It sounds like you are a healer, and that you have come to that by choosing survival over being bound by toxic blood. No going septic for you.
When you say you aren't doing some of the activities you were, I hear you. While I don't know the specifics, I do know that we have to seek balance and listen to our limitations and see them as helpful boundaries.
Thank you for being here and introducing yourself. I am grateful for this firm handshake.
