It means not giving something the credit it deserves.

I thought the large man was all fat and no muscle until he lifted the engine block; clearly, I underestimated his strength. It means to not expect as much as is really there.

You were not expecting something from them
"My in-laws are a bunch of tyrants!"
Then, you father-in-law loans your $20,000 and tells your to take the time to pay it back.
You have underestimated him

I thought your relatives would have been more helpful, but I guess they weren't.
Like when someone expects more out of you and you let them down.
