need advice
my sd has been giving me small gifts and helping me out financially, but it’s starting to make some of my family upset. The weird part is that I haven’t changed as a person at all. I’m not acting “better than” anyone, rubbing anything in people’s faces, or suddenly treating people differently. If anything I just feel less stressed knowing I have a little extra help sometimes. It’s like they were more comfortable with me when I had less. Now every little thing gets side-eyed or judged like I’ve somehow “changed”. The comments are usually passive aggressive, judgmental, or straight up meant to shame me by implying I’m a sex worker. Instead of being happy that I’m receiving support or doing a little better, some people immediately jump to degrading labels and disrespect. It’s honestly confusing. Has anyone else dealt with family becoming resentful? How did you handle it without completely ruining the relationship?
