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.
