[quote=Anonymous]That is hard OP. I understand where you are coming from. However this is like wanting an Ex to say some magical sentence that will heal all the hurt or wanting to have the perfect bit by comment that will make them realize how much they hurt you and feel remorse. The crappy thing is there is no magic phrase or apology that will give you the emotional closure or satisfaction you seek. This is not because they are selfish, but because most people do not think about others and put themselves in their shoes. The family you are angry with have no way of knowing the whole picture of your finances. The couple who had the wedding were in the throes of their wedding. This is a good scenario for cognitive behavioral therapy. No one can make you feel anything. You receive input (actions and words) from others, you decide how to feel and choose how to react.

The other hard part is that you had ongoing issues for years. This debt may have been part of it, but it wasn’t all of it. Similar to wanting that one perfect acknowledgment and apology, it is convenient to focus on this one big expense. It may be hard to a knowledge and take responsibility for the situation and it feels good to blame this triggering event. This is another thing where therapy can help you let go and move forward. This is more than a financial debt, it’s a mental debt that is still dragging you down. [/quote]
