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.
