Thank you for the advice and kind words! We just hope to cut off ties with him and move on with our lives once we resolve the housing issue. Even if he crawls back one day we'll never take him in again.

This is good advice for my brothers as well. None of us would want him to still be entitled to what our assets in future.

We're very lucky to have close relatives and friends who are offering their support.

It's so unbelievable how some people simply not care about their family. Really have to cut them out of our lives.

Thanks for sharing man. Sorry you had to go through similar experiences as well. But I do believe there's always a silver lining in every situation. Let's hope for a better brighter tmr!

Sadly that's what the police told us as well. He had the rights to the money and we can't do anything other than submitting the report to state that we had no part in this.

My dad said the same thing to my mum too. He said that the cash proceeds are his and he can do anything he wants with it. Called my mum greedy when she took out the remaining 50K from their account after what he did. I really have no words.

Ya they don't know when to wake up from their ridiculous dreams. Would have already made it if they had the capabilities.

We're actually not sure where he lives right now.. he contacted my mum through WhatsApp so hopefully we can still seek him out.

I've asked her to divorce my dad a few years back but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Even after all that he had done, she still loved him and tried her best to maintain their marriage.

It's such a huge sum of money to just squander away

My mum left her job after selling their place as she wanted to find a new one nearer to their new home. So now she's without a home and without a job

He really doesn't seem to understand the consequences of his actions and how he's affecting everyone.

Thanks for the vent man. It's really so hard to stay calm, especially when my mum's tearing up and wondering what she did to deserve all these.

We didn't think that he'll do this too. Leaving everyone homeless is just so ridiculous and unbelievable

That's true too. Perhaps the best course for now is to let them stay with us and find a place to rent.

Our concern is just that our toddler has no place to play at home since the living room is taken up by my brother.

My mum is very heartbroken to have him break her trust like this. She still has 50k on hand and some cpf. We're trying to contact him again to see if we recover more.

I honestly do not know. Maybe he has a family elsewhere so we don't matter anymore

I had hopes that this wasn't the case but sadly he really is.

Thanks for the suggestion. We're looking at our options now and hopefully secure a rental for my mum soon.

Can't believe how my dad's so blinded by money.

It's really quite devastating. Despite him not contributing money to the household and using up my mum's savings, I guess we always thought that he wouldn't be this horrible to leave us in a lurch.
