Family members struggling to cope with all the grandparents' belongs being worthless.

I am an elder millennial in the family watching my mom, aunts, and uncles struggling to cope with the realization that all or their rapidly aging parents (my grandparents) belongings are cheap, worthless, dogshit.

My grandfather is now in the care of my mother. He spent every dime he ever earned womanizing, multiple at a time, through marriages etc. Now he's lost both legs to diabetes and is broke, relying on my mom for care. The other siblings are convinced she's using him for this secret stash of money he has somewhere, when he's actually a huge financial burden racking up medical debt.

My grandmother is in a care facility and the other siblings just sold her house for a pittance to pay for. They offered for everyone to go over to the house and take what we wanted. I left with nothing but a turkey platter and a sentimental cat statue. My aunts and uncles couldn't understand why there was nothing of value in the house and started interrogating us for what we took. It was super awkward. Then they offered me her giant ugly 90s hutch that's been soaking in cigarette smoke for almost 40 years of cigarette smoke, and we're utterly bewildered/offended that I didn't want it. There wasn't even good old grandma kitchen stuff. No cast iron, no Corelle, just crap. Also no, I don't want her "crystal" figurines. I was offered to go through her jewelry. All fake.

Btw both grandparents are mean as snakes, so that doesn't help matters.

The thing is all of this is obvious to the millennials and gen z's in the family. Our Gen X parents have moments of clarity where they come to terms with the fact that all their parents are leaving is trash and problems, but then they backpedaling and try to think there must be SOMETHING between the two of them.

I just had to get all this off my chest because it's been so frustrating, especially because it looks like the cycles is going to repeat itself with my mom and her siblings. None have any investments, good houses, quality items to inherit, etc. Hopefully I will be better prepared mentally.

Edit: since this is apparently bothering so many people, yes, our ages are made possible through the miracle of young/teenage pregnancies. I'm 38, my mom is the youngest sibling at 55, grandma is 78, grandpa is 82.

Edit 2: to be clear, I am not involved in their "estates" or their care. I don't want any money or items. Frankly I am one of the most well off people in my family. I went to the house out of morbid curiosity and because I was invited to go look around. I knew what I was going to find, I also wanted to say goodbye to the house. If you actually read my post, this is all me observing the struggles of my mom, aunts, and uncles. They aren't a greedy bunch looking for hidden gold, they are just having a hard time facing the reality that their parents are leaving them nothing but problems, and treating them like absolute dogshit while they attempt to care for them in them. My uncle in particular is having a hard time finally taking the rose colored glasses off in regards to my grampa. He doesn't want him in my mom's care becuase they don't get along and he won't visit him there. He wants him in a home, and thinks he must have some money to go live in a home, but my grampa is less than broke. He worked his whole life, even rose to the rank of sheriff, but blew all his money on women of dwindling quality. When he only had one leg, some skanks would still flatter him for money, but once he started pissing himself and lost the other leg, even the lowest street walkers wouldn't play along. Since we are closer generations, when I say trash I mean trash. Dollar store stuff, thin Kmart pots, Egyptian replica house decor, mass produced fake native American dreamcatchers, wall mounted plates with wolves on them, tarnished plated 90s Macys jewelry, cheap 90s furniture soaked in cigarette smoke.... You get the picture. My aunt is still trying to buy my grandma's love, but it just isn't there. Grandma has been a nasty, neglectful, abusive monster to all her children and her deathbed isn't changing her. Myself and the cousins all see the situation clearly and expect/want nothing. Our parents are still those abused neglected children struggling in the face of finally being forced to see their parents for who they are. We are sad for them.
