So, she ended up telling Jodie that their mom’s credit card being used was obviously awful. However, there was no way it was her gambling on the family computer.
Unfortunately, though, it appears that Jodie never actually believed her. In fact, her sister ended up talking to their entire extended family and claiming that she had been stealing their mother’s money to go on gambling websites.
And ever since then, she has been forced to deal with familial turmoil. Practically everyone in her extended family now believes that she is a “horrible person,” and many of her family members have even blocked her on Facebook because of it.
But, as she repeatedly told her sister, it turned out that she truly was never the culprit behind her mom’s depleting bank account– because just one week after Jodie spread all of these lies, her sister got back in touch with her.
It was at that point that she learned the truth from Jodie. Apparently, her sister claimed to have found a gambling website on her boyfriend’s phone.
Then, Jodie connected the dots and finally realized that her boyfriend had been the one stealing their mother’s money.
Despite coming to this realization, though, Jodie shockingly still refused to apologize to her for first jumping to conclusions and, second, ruining her entire reputation with their extended family.
“Sure, I never speak to them [her extended family] anyway, but it is still a terrible reputation to have– especially when it is undeserved,” she vented.
Yet, for whatever reason, Jodie still does not see the situation that way. Instead, her sister claimed that the misunderstanding was actually her fault because she apparently “acted guilty” and became “too defensive” after Jodie voiced the accusations. I mean, wouldn’t you get defensive, too?
Anyway, even though this whole ordeal happened in early October, it has continued to cause problems to this day– because a couple of weeks ago, it was Jodie’s birthday. And, of course, Jodie decided to throw herself a big party with all of their extended family members.
Understandably, though, she did not want to attend the party after having her name dragged through the mud. So, she opted to give Jodie her birthday presents a few days early and ended up refusing to go to the party.
