Nothing could have prepared me for what I’d see (Picture: Getty Images/iStockphoto)When my brother, Jack*, told me I could read his blog, I jumped at the chance. He called my brother and, though my dad often shouted, I had never heard him yell quite so loudly. After a few weeks, my parents started urging me to reconcile. However, he claimed he didn’t know anyone read the blog, despite interacting with readers in the comments, rendering his apology meaningless. Really though, considering my entire relationship with my brother, I simply have no interest in reconciliation.
