The brother cutting them off also makes me suspect that being the “all the attention” child was not a picnic either. They don’t seem to understand LW’s boundaries, which indicates to me that they may not have cultivated any with their brother. Sometimes siblings who experienced radically different sides of their parents can connect over the fucked-up middle and sometimes they can’t, but depending on LW’s relationship with their brother, reaching out to him might not be a bad idea.
