I got a cheque from him the other day, one of the remnants of our mother's estate, and I haven't cashed it yet. I just looked at it now and realized he'd spelt my name 'Niel' instead of 'Neil'. He spelt it wrong on the envelope as well.

It's no wonder we don't even talk to each other except at funerals.
 
dude, if he doesn't know, how to spell your name, he doesn't.

It is really only up to you two guys to either come together and sort it out with your brotherly love or leave it at that and live your separate lives.

Sad. Those of us, who do not have siblings mostly crave for them. And those, who have...

He's in his sixties. I'm in my fifties. There has never been any 'brotherly love' between us for our entire lives. I doubt if it will start any time soon. I have 3 other older brothers, and I am almost as estranged from them as I am from my eldest brother.

Fortunately, I have 2 sisters (one younger and one older) that I'm closer to, so that sort of makes up for it.
 
Could you tell us a little more why you do not speak to your brothers.
 
"Any spoon is sweet that dishes up some gravy." Paulette Goddard as Miriam Aarons in The Women.

Though it's sad that you don't have a relationship with your brothers, it is an easy mistake to make (the whole I before E issue). I wouldn't read too much disrespect into it... at least he sent the check, some people wouldn't without making a fight of it.
 
yeah...i dont think transposing a couple vowels in an ambiguous dipthong is that great a cause for sibling hatred

He's executor of Mom's will. It's his job.

(By the way, I loved the quote!!)

That's a bit of a story in itself. For one thing, I have nothing in common with my oldest and third-oldest brothers. They like country music almost as much as they like beer. I don't do either of those. My second-oldest brother is too rich and busy to be bothered, and my fourth-oldest brother is heavy into religion and doesn't talk to me except to send me religious Emails (which I delete).

I think the biggest problem is simply that I am the younger brother and they had to look after me when I was a kid. They've resented me for that ever since.

I read about some of the wonderful relationships brothers share here on the forum and I envy them. I've never had that kind of relationship with any of my brothers, so I don't really miss it.
 
My brother is the same way, but I don't like him very much, so I don't care.
 
Not close to my brother either. I see him at funerals and that's it. We were never close as children and as the years went by we got further apart. He has his life, I have mine. I was never close to him so I am not missing anything. He also is disgusted with gay people, so....
 
Neil,
Don't feel too bad, my SO still has to ask how to spell my last name correctly (I mean hey, it's only been 11 eleven years, what's the rush?) It's only 7 letters.
 
My brothers don't even know that I exist except at funerals or festive occasions (boy can't wait for this years). One of my sister is too preoccupied with her children and her darling husband to care less about me, which is fine with me because she is a worthless piece of shit anyway. The truth is, i have these bad relationships with my ciblings, partly because of me AND partly because of them. No one says that you have to get along with them because more often than not people don't. It's forced upon us by society and the idealistic nature of parents, that their offspring should automatically form a bond and they don't always. Try and fix the relationship problems you have if that's what you want but in my case I couldn't care less about the lot of them. (apart from my eldest sister whom I adore like a mother)
