[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to let this go. I get that it feels unfair, and I'd probably have some of those same feelings in your position, but it's easy to see why this seemed a logical path for your uncle. Your sister has, and continues to, care for them in that house, and it keeps the house in the family instead of putting it up for sale, which is likely a consideration for him if his parents built it. You said yourself that the house has sentimental value for you, yet that you would never be able to live in it. Your sister's ownership allows you to retain those sentimental benefits in a way selling would not.

There's no good that can come from hanging on to anger about this. Yes, it would have been nice if you received an inheritance from your aunt and uncle/grandparents, but you are not owed that and few people actually receive that (from parents yes, other relatives, no). Let go of the entitlement, embrace the benefits of the house staying in the family, and be happy for your sister and that you have a close family that takes care of each other. What's done is done and harboring resentment will get you nowhere.[/quote]
