Greenleaf,

I’m a little rusty, but I’ll give it a shot. 🙂 Consider that perhaps you’re projecting your financial insecurity onto your relative. You’re clearly altruistic, and so I have no doubt that if you had tons of money in the bank, this wouldn’t blip much for you. Perhaps “well, I knew what they were like when I started, so, ah well, live and learn, paid education.”

If the above is true for you, then notice how even if their side stayed the same, if your side shifted, the emotional and mental response to them would be freer, lighter, simple. Said differently, they are not the cause of your financial issues, so don’t associate them with it, and it should fade presently. They are one more example of the kind of karmic entanglements you’re learning to let go of. Like, if it wasn’t them personally, you would attract someone else to play a similar role for you until the lesson you need is learned.

Addressing the root, or the need behind the current dischord requires information you didn’t offer. My guess, you’ve lost some trust in your heart, and at some point turned left instead of right. Went south instead of north. Checked your inner compass, and it said no, but other influences pursuaded you to say yes. Perhaps the old company left a bad taste in your mouth? Felt ousted? Aimless?

More likely, you outgrew them, and fortune favored your path by pushing you out of the nest. Right? What do you really want to be doing? Why aren’t you doing that? Been a little distracted?

With warmth,
Matt
