Have you ever been betrayed by a family member, extended family or not?

Unknown to me, my brother put his name on my mother’s bank accounts before she died (Dad was already dead) rendering all the money HIS when she passed and not inheritable. Relatives on my mother’s side treat him like nothing happened. I don’t talk to him nor them. It’s over 20 years so far. It WILL be forever. In fact, they could drop dead.

Yes and we have no contact, which is better than you think :-)

Many years ago, I confided in a close cousin that I grew up with that I had smoked marijuana a couple of times in college (he happens to be a major pothead to this day). Years later, he told my uncle about it, who passed it on to my mother. There is a huge stigma in my family about smoking marijuana (perhaps because so many of the men in the family do it), so my mother was very upset and I was pretty mad for a while.

A worse betrayal was from my father. At a time when I was supporting the entire family, I was forced to quit my job. I asked him for support, which he agreed to do. Right after I quit, a man who spoke to me at least once every day just disappeared for a couple of months. That was 3.5 years ago and I haven’t spoken to him since, though he has tried to contact me numerous times.
