Every time I have ever asked for financial aid or help from people I know, it always ends badly. I have had such bad luck with it that I am even wary of Christmas gifts and the like as there have been too many times where I was offered a 'gift', only to have it suddenly turn into a 'loan with lots of connected interest'. I have had friendships disintegrate and family members start shit over it. I am so gun shy about it that I am very afraid to even consider it because of past traumas that are associated with the issue.

But, I may be forced to and that scares me even more.
