money doesn't fix it

money doesn't fix it

For the first time in my life I've had more than $100,000 in the bank (sold my house, paid of the mortgage, have a bit left). So this is not just here say, or theory, but 'living experience'.

MONEY DOESN'T 'FIX' ITIT

Its true too, the old saying:

MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU LOVE

I add that because I truly believe a lack of love causes emotional all and mind, even body imbalance like starvation.

I feel like oxygen has been taken out ofbmy world. I'm having trouble getting off the couch, yet I have all this money all of a sudden, and still can't do something in CE for myself.

I'm trapped alone in my parents house of abuse and death, the walls cry with sadness.

Re: money doesn't fix it

No @Appleblossom, you haven’t upset me, not long got back from couple hours with dad. We played checkers. Sorry if you were waiting for me. I have to reread your previous post before answering. One would think discussion of this is confronting but you have a non burdening way about you and I’m relieved really, this SI torture has gone unheard too long. Thank you 🌸💕

Re: money doesn't fix it

Glad you played checkers with your dad.

@Former-Member

Not waiting, but concerned.

Keep your options open and a direction will become clear to you, whether it is do with a place or a person or a cause.

It would be nice if family dynamics improved, but you cant wait for them for ever.

Re: money doesn't fix it

Help, I just politely closed down a conversation with my son because he tells me he rang my toxic sister for her birthday this week, after all she’s done against me, including poisoning her two sons+ against me... I don’t know what to do, too depressed, i’’m proud he’s not like her boys but with her being so destructive & vindictive, attacks on me, my character, ignoring all my attempts to recognise, ignoring my birthday, fainting up with with Bro2 at Public guardian against me... I don’t know, has she stolen my son too? Why am I so upset... why can’t he call me more often. Why did he call her so soon after the guardianship trauma. I don’t want to cut of my son, but part of me does, everyone hates me. What has she ever done for him ? This is driving me crazy. I need help, just wanna cut off from everyone... my son doesn’t care how much he hurts me over and over, so disrespectful. I don’t know, what’s wrong with me. I’m gonna do it, it’s what they all want. Well sobbing here, so so sad. Please give me a healthy way to see all this, someone help

@Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @silhouette @ ya can’t think of anyone else not sick of me 😞

Re: money doesn't fix it

even you guys here slowly leaving me, am I this horrible? what did I do to you all? I must be scum of the earth but I haven’t set out to hurt anyone. My so called ‘loved ones’ WANT me to suicide. When I said “I have to go” (hang up) my son is so detached, he just says “fine, if that’s what you want” he don’t give a damn, oh how my sis must gloat that he speaks to her when she ignores me, and her sons. I don’t believe I’m as delusional as she’s telling everyone. It’s not fair. @Owlunar, does your toxic sisters kids ignore you? Does she tell everyone you’re emotionally unstable, delusional, “not dead yet”. I have nobody!

Re: money doesn't fix it

Ohh @Former-Member

I wish I could reassure you but I well know the way a sister can meddle in relationships with our children. I suffer that TERRIBLY with my daughter.

@Owlunar is offline got family things going on.

Pls do not take slow responses so personally.

I was house cleaning for a few hours, just in shower and had quick visitors as they were dropping off my son from a show.

Wish I could make the fear go away. Your famikly is different to mine and you were probably more available for your son.

My ex and his family really tied me in knots over my affectional ties with both my girls. Now I know it is abuse, your son will probably see your value, but is being a bit slow about it, as it seems to be a sign of the times ....

Sometimes I seem always on forum, but I am not online all the time. I dont use a phone and strongly believe we should not be too digitally dependant.

Take Care @Former-Member

Re: money doesn't fix it

Dont worry what people think ... so much. @Former-Member of course we do a bit ...otherwise we cannot be socially sensitive, appropriate or be loving ...

It is still healthier to VERBALISE and REACH out

than to do some of the self harming things.

We were posting at same time.
