Define Rich.
It is NOT money, friend!
I have the money plus, I have all I need and all I want. I'm not materialistic, no one knows my bank balance and my preferred wardrobe is shorts (sweats below 50°) and a hoodie.
In 2015, I was within a few minutes of death. That event changed everything for me.
I was given an exercise by my therapist. Yes, I needed a therapist because almost dying fucks up your head. I had define "Rich, Wealth, Family, Friend." Although rich ties closer to money, For me, wealth is probably a better fit for its tie to valuable posessions & assets.
For me, whether it's rich or wealth, I have it through Family, health, relationships, friendship, camraderie, sharing, giving, caring, understanding, living, laughing. For almost 9 years, My greatest hope is that I wake up tomorrow morning.
Don't take part in their toxicity. It exists in my family. My mantra is "I don't do drama"
Keep repeating it until you mentally separate from it and don't participate. Work on improving your communications at home. Talk less and listen more. Walk away from the drama. When/if someone finds the necessity to go off on me, I take a deep breath (it calms me), I let them finish and I have a few "go-to" replies: feel better? Is that all? F-you, F-off, How do you really feel? And Oh, thanks.
