Help! I Loaned My Niece Money And I Feel Cheated

In Money’s “Readers to the Rescue” department, we publish questions from readers seeking help with sticky financial situations, along with advice from other readers on how to solve those problems. Here’s our latest reader question:

"My wife and I loaned a niece $30,000 so she wouldn’t lose her house. After 7 years I feel like we’ve been cheated. What should I do to address the bad feelings without ruining the relationship?"

Got a good answer? Submit it to us in the form below. We’ll publish selected reader advice in an upcoming issue. (Your answer may be edited for length and clarity.)

Please include your contact information so we can get in touch; if we use your advice in the magazine, we’d like to check with you first, and possibly run your picture as well.
