If your family already was toxic towards you, it wouldn't change if you came into money. It would just shift. Instead of you being a no-good worthless nobody, you'd be a no-good selfish nobody. People won't necessarily go around begging for cash, but they will take offense at little things -- if you go out to dinner and you, as the "rich" member of the family, don't pay for everybody else. (Why should you? Because you've got cash to burn, apparently!)
If you come into wealth and you have a loving family with their heads on right, things like that wouldn't be as big of a deal.
