I inherited a significant sum of money, enough to pay off my mortgage and live comfortably, but my sibling, who has always been financially irresponsible, is demanding a large share, citing 'family fairness' and threatening to cut ties if I refuse; do I share the inheritance, risk enabling them, or keep it all and face family estrangement?
