Thank you for a response Anita. I feel that my Dad, if he were still alive, wouldn’t want things to be so unbalanced financially. Some things were done when my Mom was still living, as she passed after Dad. That same brother took her to the lawyer repeatedly, she wasn’t in her right mind. I know that he coerced her into doing some things concerning the property around the restaurant that should have gone to my other brother and me. And, there was a life insurance policy to cover the inheritance taxes for 250,ooo$ that he pocketed and so he and his wife wound up with Mom and Dad’s very large house and property since he was able to pay the taxes out of the restaurant. So he has done some shady things-I didn’t understand those things at the time, but years later I do now. He looks out for himself big time. No guilt. I would never ask him for money, the answer would be no. And he feels he deserves what he has. He was the favorite and like attention and is selfish, even though I have loved him so much. It just hurts that he has cut me out of his life. I know he’s enjoying himself which is good but to dc his sister. I was always nice to him. It just seems that the restaurant was a glue for all of the rest of us. I know life doesn’t stay the same forever. His son could have possibly run it with my other brothers help. But 4 million is a lot of money. He has no regrets. I am known as his sister in this smallish town. He is resting on the laurels of my Fathers legacy-He sold the history of the restaurant as well so the new owner claims the have owned it since 1945 when my Dad started it. That is a bummer. Sorry for the rant. We lost 2 dogs in a kennel fire last May as well. I guess last year just was hard and continues. Thank you
