DearPrudie: I’ve told him in no uncertain terms that I can’t keep up with his spending and that his love for lavish Christmases have actually made a holiday I once loved unenjoyable. Help!
My sister and I were never close to our stepsister “Anne” since our parents met and got married in our teenage years.
When my sister got engaged, our parents promised to pay for the wedding. Then Anne imploded her life—she was arrested for assault and later grand larceny . Our parents paid out of pocket more than $40,000 to keep Anne out of prison. They couldn’t afford anything else. My sister was devastated about her wedding. I had just gotten a huge raise at work, so I stepped in and overall the wedding was a huge success.That was seven years ago.
My mother is heartbroken. Her husband blames me. My sister and her husband blame Anne and are considering boycotting Christmas in protest. I just have no clue what to do.I feel for Anne, who has obviously had a tough time in life, but she’s not your problem. And honestly, even if you were to pay for her wedding or try to smooth things over, she’d find another reason to be volatile and to use her son as a weapon against your mom.
If he says no, this might be a moment to think about the fact that he makes financial and lifestyle decisions that don’t make any sense to you, and what that might mean for your compatibility as a couple.Email address:
