FUNDING AN ENEMY.

Somewhere along the way, most of us learn a quiet, painful arithmetic: the people we invest in most are not always the people who repay us in kind. We give time to those who spend it elsewhere. We give money to those who resent us for having had it to give. We give our name, our reputation, our late nights and our trust, to people who — when the moment calls for loyalty — choose the nearest exit and the fastest reward.

This book calls that experience by its true name: FUNDING AN ENEMY. 

Not because every person who disappoints us is truly an enemy, and not because generosity is a mistake. But because there is a specific, recognizable pattern in which support becomes fuel for betrayal, and it deserves to be studied rather than merely survived.

There is a particular kind of ache reserved for the person who gave everything and watched it get spent against them. This book is for that person — not to make them harder, but to make them wiser.
