Bit of a long-winded rant, but here goes.
My DH is a loyal, hardworking, straight-laced kind of guy. Works 6 days a week to keep myself DS and DD in a comfortable lifestyle. He comes from nice family.
My family -
Have a family member (not blood related thank-god) who is a tremendous liar, thief and trouble-maker.
Story -
The troublemaker (lets call her Mrs X) decides to tell my Sister, my Father and my Mother on 3 separate occassions (whilst she was drunk as a skunk.) That her son sees my husband scoring cocaine from his personal drug dealer most weekends!!! (my husband goes out about once every two months!)
Result - Fuming parents, as they know full well that DH is too hard-working and just too tight to buy it!
Even more fuming wife - I had a go at Mrs X and now she's turned it round and twisted the story to her son.
It gets worse -
Her son (15 years of age, uneducated and not living with parents now) never said anything about my DH, and is absolutely mortified! His mother told him that my Mother had stated my DH was paranoid with children and asked Mrs X if there was a possibility of my DH being on drugs.
I don't really know what to do about it. Mrs X poor son is only 15, and his mother has used him to fabricate a complete lie!
If it wasn't so spiteful it would be laughable! DH was prepared to let it go because he thought it came from 15 yr old who has issues. Then realised it came from Mrs X.
I had to tell Mrs X's 15 year old son that his Mother was lying. (He rang me yesterday to find out what went on.) and now I feel awful.
Suggestions please?!?!
