Betrayal of Trust

My dad stole fifty thousand dollars from our family business and disappeared overnight.

We discovered it when mom tried to pay the employees and the account was empty.

Three generations of trust gone in one night. My grandfather built this company from

nothing, working sixteen hour days to create something lasting for his family.

Now we're facing bankruptcy because his own son betrayed everything he stood for.

The signs were there but we ignored them. Dad had been acting strange for months, taking mysterious

phone calls and staying out late. Mom kept making excuses for him, saying he was just

stressed about work. But stress doesn't make you steal from your own children's college funds.
