Dear Queenie,
My brother and I do not get along with each other. He lives abroad and we do not keep in touch.
So, Queenie, when people ask me how he is doing do I tell them what I am telling you or what do I say?—Not speaking to him
Dear Not speaking,
Just say, “I do not know. I have not spoken to him recently.” You do not have to go into detail as to why you do not keep in touch with him.
