Should I tell my sister that I know about the money, and what she did with it?

My sister has had very little to do with me for many, many years. At one time, when we were financial equals, we were best friends. When I got divorced and my fortunes started sinking she gradually pulled away. She has never given me a reason. I straight up asked her in the early 2000 and she just mumbled, “Oh….It’s…I just can’t even talk about it it’s SO bad.” WTF??

Anyway, then my Mom became ill and my sister took over financial power of attorney.
Just before she died my sister crafted a self serving will that gave her everything that was left. I was really disgusted when I read it. My mother would have never signed such a thing had she been in her right mind. It left 0 to me or my other sister. It didn’t even end there, but that’s for another time.

Mom once mentioned a will in the late 90’s before she got sick, but I was never able to find one, and I sure as hell know that’s not it.

Well, Mom’s best friend, Mary’s, is married to a financial whiz. I guess my sister went to him for advice after she received all the inheritance. Mary called me and told me it was $30,000 and my sister put it into 3 CD’s in each of her 3 girl’s names. My sister makes GOOD money so that was just play money for her.

I never told her that I knew she did that, but since then she has really vanished from my life. I see her once every few years and we get along so great and I really miss her.

I want her back! Maybe she’s pulled away now, even though I’m not on hard financial times any more, because she feels guilty. If I told her that I knew, and still love her anyway, do you think it might make a difference in our relationship?
