Did you have a favorite relative, e.g. Aunt, Cousin as a young child & then learn something horrifying about him or her as an adult?

Your favorite Uncle is a pedophile. Your favorite cousin stole from your parents. Your Grandfather abused your Dad.

I have a very charismatic Uncle who became wealthy after beginning his own business and I looked up to him, even wanted to emulate his lifestyle. I later learned he did this--started a business-- because he was a felon as a result of molesting his ex-wife's underage daughter and therefore had difficulty obtaining employment!

This is a little different. I loved my grandfather, my father (his son) I hardly ever saw and as an adult found him to be a nasty SOB. He tried to convince me that my grandfather was evil, but could never explain how. I still think my grandfather was amazing.
I felt the same way about my maternal grandmother in spite of what my parents were convinced of.@curiosi
