I’m sorry you feel so distraught. I have read your brother’s letter, though, and I don’t think you are characterizing it correctly. Now, that may not be intentional. It is certainly not a warm or fuzzy letter, but he never says that you are a bad person, and he concludes by inviting you to talk — only with greater honesty and gentleness than in the past. He also apologized for hurtful things he has done. So far, not mean!
