You were the adult in your nephews life that was nice to him unconditionally. I had a father very similar to how you’ve described your brother and he almost drove me to suicide but I got lucky.
Your brother should live and swim in guilt, not you. You did everything an uncle could and all of this was out of your control.
This is a sad situation and I’m really sorry it has happened to you. You are a good person.
Thanks, and while true, I still could have persisted in talking to those kids, and maybe he would have talked about whatever it was that was killing him.
