Almost all our family gatherings our at our house because my wife loves to cook and entertain. She is also the oldest of 3 so she gets the duty as two younger brothers can't do much. For the most part I get along with everyone and we have only had a few instances where there was some tension.
Due to all the recent struggles with my dad's health, his death, and handling of his estate my brother whom I have been very close to all my life are estranged. I refuse to give in to his dumbassery and lack of respect during the process. I can understand his differences with my dad but not giving me one ounce of support financially or emotionally through the process is intolerable to me at this point. He was not invited to Thanksgiving or Christmas last year and the same applies this year. If he shows up I'll be cordial as long as he is respectful to my family and friends.
