Dear Dorothy:

I can understand your obsessing about your brother who is doing so well financially, comfortably retired with millions of dollars after he sold the restaurant, while you are in financial debt, don’t own your home and are unhappily married. You lack financial comfort and social support.

I have three questions so to understand your situation better. Answer if you’d like, if you feel comfortable answering:

Did your father leave any money to you and to your other two brothers, or only to this one (his favorite)?

Did you ever approach you well-to-do brother for financial help, in all the years living in the same small town?

Why are you in debt?
