My brother was the scapegoat in the family. I tried to protect him from my father, but was unable to do so. I was the chosen child, but I never had a sense of entitlement. I worked very hard in school and work. I was emotionally incested by my father. My brother is currently in jail and addicted to crack and heroin. He was a good kid and I hated my father for being so mean to him. He destroyed my brother. I keep hoping and praying my brother will save himself.
