Question brother wont open up

my brother is mad and upset with my dad because he keeps getting put back in prison. the only problem is that he will not tell my dad how he feels. we all just started talking again after 14 years andmy brother has been in our dads life the whole time because my grandma raised him but i was kept away. i dont know how to express to my brother that he needs to open up to our dad. we are half brother and sister so we have a different mom. i just dont know why he wont open up or how to help him through. my dad gets out in 2 days and my brother is not ready for this at all. how doi help him?

That is sad it is all ways the children that suffer the most, cause they dont know how to handle things. Even if your brother is an adult or teen if he has ever opened up about how he feels then it will be hard for him now!! My girls do not talk about the pain that they feel over their father going in and out of their lifes. My oldest cracks jokes when he goes to jail. the middle one does not talk about it at all and my youngest will say things but nothing major. They will not tell their father how they feel when he does these things. They take it out on me cause they know that I'm not going any where!!! I wish you the best of luck.

EXACTLY!! A lot of women believe the men suffer in prison but I'm sorry -- they're not suffering. The people who suffer the most are the people who love them the most. Adults can sort of deal with their feelings and emotions but because that's something children don't really master until they are adults, they catch crazy hell growing up.

It's my guess that he's been in and out because of drugs, and that only makes it much more worse because again, it's those who love the addict who carry the most emotions while the addict destroys their life with drugs and then prison bids.

I don't know what to say other than my heart goes out to your brother and that I hope your dad works on gettig himself together because one more bid could really send your brother over the edge where he may just stop caring about himself and his life. And that's what the prisons are full of today -- men who havent cared about their self and their lives.
