I figured since the creditors have been burning up the phone lines and since dh's family has received a few calls--I might as well tell my mom in case she gets calls. (Even though she lives in a different state)
Whew. What a load off. Big sigggghhhhhhh of relief. She was understanding and supportive. I didn't get into allllll the nitty gritty details, just told her that a chain of events led us to this point and we were going to have to file soon.
Dh's family has received a few calls, (his dad 2, BIL and SIL 2, and MIL 1) so I'm sure they are totally trashing us behind our backs. I mentioned in the collections forum that SIL had actually called back the number left on their machine for us to "figure out what is was regarding" so she could pass that on to us. Then with the second call, she called FIL and told him. NOT US.
I told dh that I told my mom and he might consider doing the same (he could say as little or as much as he wants) with his family because it seems that BIL and SIL are going to make sure they embarrass us SOMEHOW by making sure EVERYONE knows. Why not just post it it to Facebook, then you could tell everyone in one big swoop? <rolling eyes>
Anyway, sometimes telling a TRUSTED family member really does help. I originally just didn't want to tell my mom because I didn't want her to be disappointed.
