Betrayed

My brother has betrayed me and my son. It was my brother who called the police and identified my son as the possible suspect. He profited off of this. My brother and I have not spoken since July when he told me he looked forward to my son's funeral so he could tell me "I told you so". He knew I have been so afraid of having the police come tell me that they found my son dead from an OD. I read the transcripts of the call to the police - I know I can't read feeling into written words but I know my brother he sounded almost gleeful when he called the police. He has profited off of my son's arrest. He had the balls to text me the day after my son was arrested to tell me how sorry he was that I was going through this pain. Our father taught us to be loyal to each other. We could be furious at each other but if one was down, or needed help then we came together as a family. If he thought it was my son on the video he could have called one of our older siblings and had them call a family meeting to talk to me about the situation. In the past we have come together as a family when he got into trouble to talk to him and help him. Instead he called the police and betrayed me. I am just so hurt by this. I am almost as devastated by his betrayal as I was when my son was arrested. And to top it off, once my son's head was cleared up - his first thought was that he needed to apologize to his Uncle for the things that went on between them. Now he knows that his Uncle betrayed him. He was worried that when I found out I would be so devastated. He wanted me to know not to trust my brother. More pain - I am angry but more then that I am just numb over the betrayal. My father is spinning in his grave. My brother has so dishonored our father by betraying the family.
