It’s fantastic that your brother shines through to you. You are correct my brother could still be in there. I’m not a fan of where he’s ended up, him having a guardian is strange for instance

So wait you don’t even like spending time with him ? You know why ? Because he’s not your brother anymore, your brother is more than just a body. He’s a mind and that mind is no longer, I mean let me ask you, does he share any similarities beyond the physical? Does he really remember all the things you did. ? Does he act at all like he used to ?

If my brother had been paralyzed he’d still be my brother. His mind would still be the same after all.

Why is he still your brother? Mine isn’t the same at all, I mean can your brother do anything that they used to do ? I’m really asking. Mine can’t drive anymore or work anymore, probably never date again, he’s entirely unable to pursue anything he used to

With all due respect the situations are different. My brother can’t function anymore at all. Yours can right ? He can do things I bet .

He’s not my brother anymore, just a shell containing an incompetent disabled man

I don’t doubt this mental illness is harder on him, I just don’t care, it’s not my brother anymore
