‎$ ≠ ♥. $ < ♥.

This is today's motto I think.  We all know that you can't buy love, and money doesn't make you happy.  But isn't there something to be said for the people that love you taking care of you when you need them.  At what point DOES money play a part?  Greed can blind and cripple a person emotionally.  It can also be difficult to be your usual happy-go-lucky self if there is a huge financial situation looming over your head.  I have said many times that you should never loan money that you don't have to give.  Is it wrong to expect a little bit of give and reciprocation from someone that loves you?  If they fail you repeatedly, does it mean they don't really care or just don't understand?  Is compassion still the right path when someone else has been given the power to damage your life and your children's?  Where should one draw the line?  It's so hard to just "let go and let God" when you have other people to worry about in your life.  The bitterness is, not ironically, very hard to swallow.
