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 to 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.
