All three of us, Mom, me, & my brother, were really really close, until my Sister and her Husband moved back. The sister and her husband moved away, oh about 4 or 5 years ago. I believe the sister & brother-in-law had alot to do with my brother neglecting both my Mom & me.

Could this be an olive branch? If it is, I'd say take baby steps back, providing you WANT to. Remember after mom is gone, do you really want to have nothing to do with your brother ever again? He probably has his own issues with mom, and they really are his and hers in the end. Wish I had something more helpful to pass on. Life is too short. I do know that. ♥
