Yep, ranks right up there with telling a woman her husband is having an affair.  She either already knows and chooses to ignore it for whatever it is she is getting out of it or doesn't know and gets mad if you are the one to break it to her.  In the end, it's u who will be the bad guy in either situation.  Keep quiet and let the chips fall where they may on their own.

Too risky .....  in the olden days, they shot the messenger.   Stay out of it.   There's no upside to blabbing.

Stay out of it.  It's none of your business.   What's the point in throwing gasoline on a fire?  Other than to give yourself some excitement.

My personal belief is that liars never truly "get away with it."  Somewhere, sometime, and somehow, it always catches up with them.  And you know what they say about karma.......she's not always a ladyWoman Wink

I'd stay out of it and let oldest stepson deal with the situation as he sees fit.

Some people live for drama for a million different reasons.  It helps them thrive, gives them something to think about, takes their mind off their own problems, takes the focus off of them, makes them feel better about themselves.

 

Don't feed the beast and don't ruin their dysfunction.

 

Stay as far away as possible.

I'm glad for you that you live across the country from that mess. I'd stay out of it since she has to go to court, st which time the truth may come out. Your stepson isn't doing his brother any favors by allowing him to live there and not face his dues and get help to change his behavior, but there is nothing you can realistically do about that, either.
