Dear Abby, how can one accept the parents’ unfair division of inheritance?

DEAR ABBY: My parents are aging and have a number of health problems. I am one of three children, now in our 40s. My parents had a lawyer write their will and completely cut out one child. They decided to give two-thirds of their fortune to another child, leaving me with only one-third. They claim the reason is that my sister will be responsible for her health if they get that far. We’re not talking about a lot of money, but I don’t know what to do. – NOT THE favorite in Michigan

DEAR, NOT FAVORITE: What you should do is accept your parents’ reasoning and their generosity and not argue about it. Be grateful, otherwise you won’t get anywhere.
