When inherited property becomes about inherited pain

My brother and I inherited our dad's house together and we can't agree on whether to sell it or keep it in the family, but really we're fighting about completely different relationships we each had with dad. Every conversation about the house turns into this painful excavation of who dad loved more or understood better.
