This space exists to share lived experience, not to instruct or persuade. These reflections are offered in the hope that recognition brings some peace–that seeing a pattern named might make a private pain feel less isolating.

Scapegoat in Recovery is written by a real person, under the pen name “Phx Blu.”

These writings come from lived experience and long reflection, not theory or clinical distance; new posts can be found here most Sunday mornings.

Nothing here asks for readers to confront others, repair relationships or change themselves. This is simply one account among many, offered so that understanding can grow where confusion once lived. Take only what resonates for you and leave what doesn’t.

You are welcome here.

Your pain is understood here.

And the lantern light always remains on here.

If something here resonates and you’d like to share how it affected you, you’re welcome to write to: ScapegoatInRecovery@gmail.com

Please note: this inbox is a one-way reflection space. Message are read / received periodically, but replies are not part of this offering.

Thank you for meeting this work with care.

In warmth,

Phx
