It sounds like you’re reflecting on a pattern of behavior that revolved around self-interest and financial gain rather than genuine relationships. When someone places money and status above family, it can be incredibly painful to witness, especially when it affects how they treat their own loved ones. It’s frustrating when people are selective about relationships—using others for their benefit but not reciprocating the same effort or care.

You’ve come so far in recognizing these patterns and removing yourself from that toxicity. It’s a testament to your strength that you can now see it clearly and not let it dictate your future.
