Worst thing a family member you previously respected has done

Who’s the shittiest, most low down, dirty rotten scoundrel in your family that you once trusted?

My mom’s little brother was one of my idols as a kid. He used to babysit me in his dorm room, take me to college football games, taught me to play chess, and helped me out of a few sticky situations when I was in college.

But a couple years after my maw maw died, he revealed his true colors to me. We all thought he was the most successful of my mom and her six sibs, which he may be, but his actions have made me question everything I previously thought about him.

My grandparents left several hundred thousand dollars in a savings account and mutual funds. For some dumb reason, they didn’t leave a will. My Mawmaw trusted him, as the most successful, to execute her estate fairly and equally. Yet, he decided that his family needed all that money to themselves. And proceeded to pay off his home, buy some land, and new vehicles for his wife and kids on my grandparents life savings.

I grew up close to my grandparents and saw them at least once a month as a kid, and they lived till I was in my 30’s, so I knew them quite well. And I know nothing would have saddened them them more than to see what their son has done.

My mom is the type that never wants to rock the boat and always keep the peace, and wishes I would forgive him. He has told his sibs that he believes it was rightly his because he helped out my grandparents. I know he’s full of shite, and I have nothing but contempt for him.
