[quote=Anonymous]My father was the carer for his parents in their final years. His younger brother wasn't estranged insomuch as had drifted away and despite repeated efforts on the part of the parents and my father he chose to keep a somewhat distant relationship. We assume it's mainly because he became extremely religious and married someone from his church and her family effectively became his. My grandparents were not religious and had not responded to his overtures for them to embrace the faith more than they already did (they were conventional Episcopalian churchgoers but not spiritual and based on a few comments I suspect my grandfather was a private atheist). It may have been exacerbated by disparities in affluence, my grandparents were well off, and my father was successful in his own right, while my uncle never really achieved more than a simple clerical role as he chose to devote his energies to his church.

When my grandparents died, the estate was still split 50/50 between the two sons, however, my father inherited the entire contents of the house, which included many antiques and heirlooms. I get the impression that everyone was content with how it worked out.
