Bankruptcy Revealed?

I was talking to my sister the other day and she asked me when I was gonna tell our parents about NotMexican's bankruptcy.

I told her that I didn't plan to. In fact, NotMexican wanted to spill his guts to my parents the first time they met and I told him not to. I didn't want them to judge him for being divorced and losing all his money because of it.

My sister told me it wasn't fair to our parents. What if we need them to cosign a loan in the future when buying a home.

I had thought about that, but I didn't plan on considering home buying for another 5 years.

I thought about it and agreed so I told NotMexican that we should sit my parents down and tell them everything. As if he didn't have enough stress on his plate, I just added a whopping chunk.

He got really upset (naturally), told me that he wasn't gonna say anything because I assured him it wasn't a big deal (true) and got angry with me for bringing it up suddenly (as he should).

Since it was such a big deal, both he and my sister suggested I tell my parents. I'm the one who started the drama, so I should take care of it.

And that's what I did last night.

We were at a formal dinner for the hospital and I found my dad in the corner hoarding food and drinks. I sat down with him and asked him what he thought of NotMexican.

He said he liked him.

I told my dad that I've made my decision. He replied, "I trust your decision."

I told my dad that NotMexican hasn't had the easiest life and because of it we will probably struggle financially. My dad said, "That's ok. Your mom and I struggled."

I asked my dad if he wanted to know why we would be struggling. My dad said, "I don't wanna know anything. I trust your decision. It's clear that NotMexican has struggled in his life just from talking to him and I think it's a good thing."

I asked him if was sure... He said he was sure.

I don't know what to say, but I'm just amazingly thankful.
