“What was it like to live in my brother’s shoes? Due to his disability and by no fault of his own, he was stuck in adolescence and driven by impulse. He was a direct product of his upbringing, but had little capacity to think his way out of problems or bad decisions or to protect his fragile, boyish heart. He was frustrated, trying to figure out how to be a man, but was ill equipped.”
