My Boyfriend's Relative is Stirring Up Trouble

Tweet

I just got off the phone with my boyfriend's older adoptive sister (who is also his aunt, since his grandma is the one who adopted him.) She wanted to know if we had moved because some cousin they've been fighting in court over their grandma's estate apparently went over to my boyfriend's mom's house last night and told her we moved to a "really nice house" and didn't tell her. Neither one of us knows this guy -- my boyfriend has never met him -- and I'm pretty ticked to find out he's going around spreading lies about us. Now my boyfriend's mom is all upset thinking we moved and didn't tell her. His sister/aunt warned me that this guy has our address and might be by to hassle us. I told her that he can come by all he wants but I don't answer the door when I'm not expecting company, and I never let strange men into my home. If he keeps pounding on my door the cops will be called. I don't care if he's related to my boyfriend or not, we don't know him. Part of me wonders if the sister/aunt isn't just making all this stuff up though, or bending the truth to make the guy seem more evil than he actually is. Whatever the case, I don't appreciate the added stress of being dragged into their weird family drama. The grandma whose estate they are fighting over died over 20 years ago in the 1990s. Why they are just NOW fighting over the estate is beyond me. It's not like we would likely get anything from it, and my boyfriend doesn't expect anything, so he couldn't care less about the whole ordeal. I had to message my boyfriend's mom on Facebook and let her know that we most definitely did NOT move, and if we ever did we would let her know. We have lived in the exact same place for the past 9 years. Now I'll wait and see if she responds. If she's completely confused over my message, I'll know the sister/aunt is lying to stir up trouble. If she goes off on a rant about their cousin saying we moved into a nice house, then I'll know the strange cousin we don't know is lying to stir up trouble. Either way, someone in that family is lying and trying to stir up trouble, and I don't appreciate being dragged into their drama, especially when we don't even know this guy.
