Hi, good evening, magician
You were right, my buddy still hasn't paid me back the money he owed me, and he no longer inspires my trust, or at least less and less, even though I used to have absolute trust in him. Well, whatever, I'm the one who's being a fool; I trust people too much. Now, I'm really fed up and I want to talk to his family about it. I'm putting off the deadline because I'm afraid of causing a scene. What do you think, 7 4 21 6? I'm hesitating, but he's making a fool of me, I mean, he doesn't honor any of the commitments he made to me. What should I do? I feel caught between friendship and reclaiming what's rightfully mine, and the friendship is slowly fading away. It's stupid. Thanks for your insight.

Good evening Clodiflo,

Without a certified written document from your friend acknowledging the debt to you, filed with a bailiff, notary, or other legal authorities, I fear you will have no legal recourse to recover your money.
Talking to his family will of course cause a mess, as you say, but at least you’ll have said what you needed to say to this family, which you seem to like nonetheless. However, I don’t see his family repaying what your friend owes you, as that’s a matter between the two of you.
What can I say... even in friendship, you have to know or learn to make a distinction, but not to include your buddy's entire family, who have nothing to do with any of this.

See you soon and have a good evening
The magician.

Okay, thank you. I think it’s more than time for me to learn to be mindful of what I do and where I put my feet, emotionally and otherwise. I’m growing up. Thank you.
