Yes, that is correct. The phrases "a bad fight" and "ever since" provide clues that suggest a significant disagreement or conflict occurred between the speaker and their brother, resulting in a long-lasting separation or distance in their relationship. This aligns with the meaning of "estranged," which refers to a state of being emotionally or socially disconnected from someone.
