Hi there! I think first thing you might need to address is your current vibration. You are looking at a lack of money, and you are jealous of your ex with her money. That will hold you back from both your ex and lots of money you could be manifesting! The best and easiest way I've found to deal with these kinds of thoughts is to run them up the Emotional Guidance Scale. Have you read "Ask and it is Given" by Abraham Hicks? There is a process in there for helping you to feel better about issues you might have become stuck on. In CarpeDiem's thread I explained the process, and we are doing it on some stuck subjects over there.. I highly recommend doing it, you would be looking at jealousy and a lack of money. Go check out the explanation in the thread and maybe you can do your own one back here? We can help!
If you can shift your thoughts, you will raise your vibration and your stuff will start coming in! But you need to at least reach a place of peace, ease and appreciation. And if you focus and do the work, you can get there easily!

I'd like to point out that while it would be great to wil a scratch card, we live in a universe that creates worlds.. So actually you are limiting yourself to the myriad of ways a bunch of money could come to you! Why not instead focus on the end result, and see what you get? It may be easier for you to visualise all the things you will DO with the money, or how you will FEEL when you have it.. Same with your dad.. Just visualise him as happy and relaxed. That helps to release the need for things to go an exact way, but the end result is still a win!

I started the Come Manifesting thread to try and raise people's vibrations about manifesting the small stuff.. Becayse if you can build faith in all of this, believe it, and receive little gifts along the way, then you will readily accept that the big stuff will come too. So why don't you vine play over there as well? It's a great thing to practice the art of allowing. And manifesting small things every few days really helps to increase your gratitude, appreciation and a feeling of abundance. And that's where you need to be vibrationally to receive all the other things you are wanting!

Have you ever read Mind Power Seduction by Armigi Hillier? It's about RS but he explains very well the concept of visualisation. I downloaded it to an app called Scribd. It was free. Highly recommended. What else? 😊
