"I'm scared to leave.. but I can't return home." I would have tried to stop you. but would you have let me stop you? This is all straight ******** It was not a selfish act kissing that semi, and I accept that. What I do not accept, is that I feel I could have done something. You turned very quickly from a boy to a man. Caring for your sisters, being a father figure. Jenny wasn't there, wasn't the mother she needed to be. And she still isn't. Whose fault is it? I NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME. Taking your own life can't just be passed off. I am so happy you are at peace, but what I fear is what you left behind. The littles are helpless, trapped by her, this. How do I help them escape? Is there a way? I can only imagine what pushed you to your limit. I wish I could have told you I struggle with the same feelings. I wonder, could it have stopped you? Is it better you being dead? …is that an inappropriate question to ask? I miss you, brother.
