While I love them very much, it is sometimes very difficult to hear about their latest promotion, bonus, vacation, summer home, car, etc., while I struggle to pay my gas bills, borrow for a roof, car, or whatever. I don't necessarily want the things that they have, but financially I struggle so much more. The more they get, the worse I feel about myself. I can't escape the talk since they are close relatives. They don't brag; they just tell me what's going on in their lives.</P> <P>There are few offers to help or even lend when I have been in bad situations; that's the hardest to accept. I know I shouldn't compare, but I can't help it. I have a lot to be thankful for and know God will take care of me, but sometimes I feel so disheartened. I think I need some good counseling so this feeling doesn't stop me in my tracks or ruin some very close relationships.</P> <P> </P> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 04:30:03 GMT Pixie Jo 2011-02-21T04:30:03Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-Rich-Relatives/m-p/33386#M16005 <P>Am I jealous?
