Dear Amy: My brother and I are both in our 70s. We’ve only spoken once in the last three years. We lived miles apart for much of our lives, but still kept in touch.

In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to someone whose sibling thinks they are owed more of their late parents' inheritance.

My father had previously told my brother that when they sold the house, he wanted to give a certain amount of money to each of us. Our mother did not honor our father’s wishes, but did give us each a smaller amount.

Have I been gaslighted? My mother was a difficult person. She was often not nice to my sister-in-law. I admired my SIL for taking the high road and for being respectful toward my mother, and I told her so many times.
