The love and/or money you feel
you are owed by your dysfunctional
parent, spouse, ex, adult child, or sibling
— after manifold skillful efforts to collect
— I am sorry to say — is a sunk cost.
A sunk cost: get out yesterday!
Your freedom, the rest of your life,
begins when you write off that loss.
Extricate yourself, mind, body, and
bank account. Start investing today in
yourself. Nothing compounds like self-love!
There is no higher-risk investment than
counting on an unreliable attachment
figure to give you your due. And if they do
come through, enjoy the windfall! Give
thanks, but hold lightly that unstable currency.
