I'm 22, and he treats me like I'm in prison. Until I see a memo he deleted ten years ago— "She took my arm today, and I held it for three seconds longer, not wanting to let go." "I flew to London to see her and sat by the hotel window all night." "I think my life is probably over." I confronted him with my phone. He was silent for three seconds, then pinned me against the wall, his voice hoarse: "So, do you want to cut ties with your brother?"
