They live 3 miles from me, but I don't see them as often as I should be. But we do talk on the phone all the time.
I have a brother who's 5 years older than me. We've been estranged for about 2 years - parents don't speak with him either. He's always been a dick. .... It breaks my parents' hearts not to have him as part of the family, but they finally realize how much of a selfish asshole he is and if that's what he's all about, then they don't want him as a son. There's some other drama as well, but I won't bother with it atm.
What about you? Close with your parents / step parents / etc.?

Woods, you and I have very similar situations. My parents are AWESOME and we talk on the phone at least three times a week (unfortunately, they live several states away and no one can afford to travel). I would be lost without them - they're my best friends.
As for my brother (five years older), we've never been particularly close - mostly because he's decidedly unsocial and rarely speaks more than two syllables at a time - but have always been on fairly good terms.
However, family matters have taken a dramatic turn in recent months. Seems that, in September
on my mother's birthday, my brother stopped by mom and dad's (they live about 15 miles from bro) to whine and complain about what a bitch my mother is. Then he told them that he didn't want to have any more contact with them - zero, zilch, nada.
So last week, they called me up to tell me that he's been written out of their will.
Yeesh.
