Episode notes
Tell The Cousin If The Trust Was Misused
- Do tell the cousin if no one else plans to and the trust money is gone because it's a serious injustice and potential crime.
- Stavros and Usama argue the cousin deserves the truth about his biological dad and stolen funds to avoid ongoing harm.
Caller Learned A Buried Trust Fund Secret At 18
- The caller learned at 18 that her cousin’s biological father died and left a trust, but her aunt never told the cousin and allegedly used the money for the family.
- The aunt threatened to disown anyone who revealed the truth and the caller has been carrying the secret for years.
Withheld Parentage Is Worse When Money Is Taken
- Hiding parentage can be framed as protecting a child from wealth, but combined with stealing the child's money it becomes an egregious betrayal.
- Stavros contrasts a possibly-misguided choice to delay telling with outright theft, which changes the moral calculus.
