I'm allowed to have feelings for my brother despite strongly disagreeing with him. He has literally gotten drunk and tried to beat me up before 😭 this was a very patient convo on my end. I'll actually flip that on you, how good of a journalist would it have made me if I didn't question him on any of it? Stop assuming you know the entire situation based off of the words someone typed online and think critically. I appreciate your time responding though.
