[quote=Anonymous]I saw this great quote today.

Love is the bridge over which the truth can cross.

If your brother can't hear the truth (or handle it) he's not ready.
He may not be using his heart (thinking of the impact the event had on you, or how you can put your kids's safety above the egos of others).
Your parents have coped with it and your brother may need more time to come around or to put this in perspective.

It is possible he won't see this the same way as you, but it doesn't mean you are "cut off" forever. It means that in this scene of the play of your life, you two are not the stage at the same time.  
There is always a second act and the storyline could change.

I think your instinct to break a cycle for the your kids is right on. 
He's not their protector (that's your job) so his perspective is based on his role and it isn't sitting well. 
He could also have a WHOLE DIFFERENT THING going on that has nothing to do with any of this.  He could do a LOT Of things, but he didn't.  Brothers are sometimes like 10-year old boys, so words are not the medium.

Focus on your kids.  Do what you feel is right express your love towards your brother. Don't worry about the return on investment there.  He's not a boyfriend. It isn't your job to raise him. It is silence. Maybe he's choosing that over an INAPPROPRIATE response.  You can't do anything about that.
