No morons, but just really offensive/horrible relatives.

My dad's brother went behind my grandparents back and stole a LOT of money from them and the deed to their house. He basically conned my grandparents into doing it. And there was nothing my grandparents could do at the end of the day - they were kicked out of their house poor and homeless and my dad had to support them until they could get back on their feet. Needless to say, my uncle was COMPLETELY disowned from the family. This was like...30 years ago. Completely estranged and the bastard deserved it. My uncle died about 3 years ago and my dad went back for the funeral and that was it.

Oh and we heard through the grapevine that as the years went on, my uncle got really sick, lost his job, and was left pretty damn poor himself. What goes around, really comes around.

That's wild. What posses someone to do such a thing? How did react to being disowned from the family?
