CHARITY:

We need healthy boundaries about receiving money, and we need
healthy boundaries about giving money.

We may be ashamed because we have money and don't believe we
deserve it. We may belong to an organization that uses shame as a
form of control to coerce us out of our money that the organization
wants.

We can get hooked into giving money to our children, family
members, or friends because we have earned or unearned guilt. We
allow ourselves to be financially blackmailed, sometimes by the
people we love.

Some of us give money out of a sense of caretaking, We may have
exaggerated feelings of responsibility for others, including financial
responsibility.

Some of us give because we hope or believe people will love us if we
take care of them financially.

We do not have to give money to anyone. Giving money is our
choice. We do not have to allow ourselves to be victimized,
manipulated, or coerced out of our money. We are financially
responsible for ourselves. Part of being healthy is allowing those
around us be financially responsible for themselves.

We do not have to be ashamed about having the money that we
earn; we deserve to have the money we have been given –
whatever the amount, without feeling obligated to give it all away,
or guilty because others want what we have.

Charity is a blessing. Giving is part of healthy living. We can learn
to develop healthy boundaries around giving.
