he was my stepdad for a while when I was a kid and was my younger brothers father who he never really got a chance to know

he had issues with addiction and anger and eventually he started taking things out on us. My mom did the stereotypical thing of leaving him and then giving him another chance for years before he went to prison and she realized enough was enough

This was decades ago and I never saw him again. I think though somewhere in my mind I always imagined that he would show up on my doorstep one of these days and try to make amends or say that he just wanted to know my brother, and I would imagine myself telling him how much he hurt us in a way that I couldnt as a child, or just taking out my anger on him violently

Now that hes just gone though, Im not sure how I feel. Certainly not how I thought I would.

As far as I can tell she is mostly just concerned with how my brother is doing. I reached out to him but havent heard back yet. I think she moved on a long long time ago, but I imagine he has some complicated feelings right now.

I know his dad found him on facebook at some point and reached out to him once he was an adult, but I didnt feel like it was my place to get involved or ask too many questions about that, so I dont know if they kept communicating.
