He's only 8 and I am 19. Throughout my teenage years I was emotionally numb and probably hurtful and oblivious to it. We are both the victims of an abusive mother whom he still lives with. He seems really switched off and doesn't even laugh anymore. The personality that he puts forward is a false one. He's very insecure but won't show it. The past year or so since I've had some revelations I've really wanted to reach him. It's like he's not even there. How do I reach my brother and pull his true self out? I don't know what to do. Any suggestions. If I can help him in any way I will
