A guy I knew in a situation similar to yours used to only lend $5, no matter what they asked for. He’d say, “Let’s just start at $5. When you pay that back we can work up from there.”
They rarely paid him back, but he would use that to block any further loans. Can you imagine $5 that a person wouldn’t pay back?
It still burns me up that they would always direct the waitresses to put the bill in front of my husband.
Making the choice to permanently part from them hurt for several years, but I am much happier without their anger, hatred and dramas.
Oh, and I heard - with my own 2 ears - my sister saying in an almost tearful voice that Jimmy Carter was the best president we have ever had.
THAT is what I have had to deal with and get along with- in other words, keep my mouth shut while they mocked Christians and called Conservatives racists.
