[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ve been giving this a lot of thought and right now feel like my answer to his request is that I’m not ready to have this discussion and need more time. I also am taking my wife into consideration who he’s hurt many times with his unprovoked verbal attacks. I’m happy my brother is getting help and would eventually like to have a relationship with him, just not now. For some reason it makes me feel like a selfish monster. [/quote] I don’t think your reaction is wrong. But if there’s any way you can respond warmly and supportively even while keeping your boundaries that you’re not ready to have a full discussion, I think you would feel like you did the right thing. In the meantime, try al-anon. [/quote]
