Christmas with the Fool

I’m back guys with my annual holiday update! Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. For once, mine was (mostly uneventful…. Until last night that is. 

Little Idiot (SD25.5) has been here the whole week. And this time, she brought The Fool (her younger boyfriend with her). Now I’ll start off by saying The Fool is great - he’s going to college, he’s respectful and mature, he is hardworking and was extremely polite and helpful all week as I’ve been preparing for Christmas. I give The Fool 9/10 would recommend. Little Idiot herself has matured some too but honestly I don’t think The Fool will stick around long - he just seems above her pay grade in maturity and life goals (I just don’t think he realized it yet).

So anyway, all has been going well and fairly typical for the holiday. Little Idiot asked DH to go visit her brother. DH was irritated. Usual stuff.

but THEN The Fool spilled the beans about Little Idiot’s debt… only she apparently told The Fool that her ex stepdad ran up a bunch of credit cards in Little Idiot’s name. So now DH is angry. And ex stepdad has been thrown under the bus. And The Fool won’t speak to ex stepdad. (The Fool thought we knew and well I knew about LI running up a bunch of debt but DH had no idea). So that is a whole drama. DH is going to tell her to file for bankruptcy. 

So that was my crazy Christmas

Oh dang, I didn't know debt was a casual conversation for new BF's and family ha ha.

Hopefully LI listens to her dad and get the debt sorted out before it's too late.

Re: Christmas with the Fool

Well they had been drinking and it slipped out I guess. The issue that LI herself ran up all that debt and she lied to her boyfriend saying her stepdad opened up fraudulent credit cards in her name (shifting the blame onto him and avoiding accountability). This has created a rift now between if boyfriend and the ex stepdad. ETA and I wonder how the step-siblings will take this when they are adults. I have a feeling it will all come out one day.

Re: Christmas with the Fool

LI was probably thinking up this excuse for WEEKS!  Fast forward to after filing the big B.  She runs up debt AGAIN and this time she'll blame the Fool for identity fraud!

Re: Christmas with the Fool

You are right ThinkThrice she is lying about a lot to The Fool. She also told him she has her prestigious bachelors degree but owes money to the college so they won’t let her have it and at the same time claims she makes really good money. I know for a fact she dropped out long before ever even coming close to getting a degree. I don’t know how she’s going to keep up all these lies with The Fool but DH I think has actually started to see through her BS just a bit but it’s a start.

Re: Christmas with the Fool

Do you mean your DH is angry with Stepdad or with LI for lying??

Re: Christmas with the Fool

AG's DH would never be able to discern that LI is lying to him.   Much easier to blame ex-stepdad!

This. 

So funny how spouses/BFs and GFs of our skids reveal secrets like this. Hopefully your DH, AG, doesn't stress too much over this.  


When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Re: Christmas with the Fool

DH is angry at ex stepdad of course because LI could never lie, it’s always someone else to blame. He believes her but I think there’s a tiny bit of doubt. The Fool is so angry at stepdad that he declares if they get married ex stepdad isn’t invited to the wedding. Wonder what LI’s step sisters will think when their dad isn’t invited?

Re: Christmas with the Fool

I wonder what Fool will think WHEN (not if) he realises he has been duped and she is a liar. Only hope not too late for him…or do I? Bec that could bring her around you more…hahaha
