Finally I know. Now I can make a plan to resolve the issue. I thought it may be related to money, but I wasn't 100% sure and honestly didn't want to make an effort to repay the loaned amount before I could really reasonable handle it without knowing if that was the real issue. Now I know it is really bothering him, so much so he's cut me out. I am now creating a budget, the 2nd job is really helping me get through this rough patch.

I'm still financially behind, but I got a bit of bonus money today, and realized my part-time job did pay me. So now I have a bit of a cushion and I'm not just having to be totally stingy constantly. I was able to buy some groceries today. I still need to pay many things. But in the next two weeks I'll be caught up on necessary bills, and will be able to proceed with other expenses.

With the two jobs, I will get things situated. I'm feeling more comfortable and confident. I do not do well being tight economically. I was once a rich kid, it's hard to be on the other side and my ability to cope with it is non existent. It's been a very hard lesson for me to learn.

You're taking positive steps all factors considered. Holding down two jobs can't be easy. Hopefully once things are more settled your brother will relax a bit.

Hang in there sister. I work two jobs as well, due to debt. It's not easy but it's doable. You are doing well managing your own life
