My brother is a "John Dashwood"

My brother is a literal John Dashwood (while I am a combination of his 3 half-sisters combined). Really, he faked a will for my Dad Not-so-mysteriously dated 3 DAYS before my dad's car accident that would leave him helpless an in dementia for the remaining 3 years of his life (my whole family knew there wasn't one but he did it anyway).

When he and my other brother (who only helped  the "John Dashwood" brother because "John" had D under his thumb the whole time. I forgave brother D almost instantly but it still hurt because D was the brother I was closest to.)

Anyway the "will" left everything to brother "John" and brother D leaving me with nothing but $100 and my Dad's Budweiser Christmas Stein collection (4 or 5 of them).

I KNOW it's fake because I had taken that beer stein collection for safekeeping when that "will"popped up out of this air and so brother "John" had put that in the fake will AND HAD HIS SLIMY FRIEND sign the "will" as a "WITNESS". I am grateful though that I had the chance to look through the pictures Dad had left behind and if bother "John" had had his way he's kept them from me forever (even the pics there were of MY family from my mother's side, and had nothing to do with his family). Also Dad almost NEVER wrote in cursive (as the fake "will" did) he wrote practically all in print caps. He only wrote in cursive  when something called for his signature.

In case you didn't realize this already "John" and D are my half-brothers. D himself has been dead for over a year now. He shot himself while drunk and/or high. He had threatened to do this many times in front of Dad before he took his gun away. Brother D got the gun back after Dad's death. We don't know if he was just being stupid in playing with the gun or if he meant to do it no note was left behind I'm still devastated by it. I haven't seen "John since out brother's memorial service. I still love John, I just hate that he had to be greedy and selfish. (and accused ME of being greedy and selfish, when all I wanted was to make sure all of Dad's bills were paid and everything split EVENLY 3 WAYS).

I love John still but I hate what he did to our family but I never want to deal with him again. Finding it slow to forgive him and I'm trying it's just hard (did I mention John has a history of doing illegal things? Not to mention domestic abuse (like father like sons I guess. I love them all regardless no matter what they do.) (Mom and Dad divorced in 2001. Dad would say sometimes. That I (me the one typing this) got my part after the divorce, ((that's not how things work Dad.)) and apparently told my brother this and let it spread to the other part of dad's side of the family and so everyone on Dad's side of the family is basically on "John's" side. Even though there WAS NO WILL. EVEN THOUGH JOHN FAKED A WILL TO GET EVERYTHING! There's still on his side because that was what Dad' "wanted' (BULLSHIT if had wanted it so bad he would've made a will LONG BEFORE THE ACCIDENT saying as much!)

Long story short even though they knew it was wrong Dad's side of the family DID NOTHING to help me. I think I'm done ranting for now I just had to get that off my chest.
