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.
