Are you sad about that?
I have one brother. To be honest, when my parents are gone I don't suppose we'll ever see each other again. Maybe the occasional call. Maybe not. And he never really did anything to me. We just have nothing in common, and not much to say beyond the basic niceties.
I think it's pretty normal to want to distance yourself from people who cause you pain. Just because they happened to have the same parents is no reason not to.
Or perhaps I have a completely skewed and unhealthy view of sibling relationships.
