what do i say to my brother?

the other day my brother and i were talking about our half brother who we havent seen or spoken to in YEARS. i decided to look him up online and lo and behold i found him. im a little nervous and excited. im going to contact him but im not quite sure what to say. he used to live with us but then his alcoholic crack whore mother took him away and i know hes had a ROUGH life. when he came to us he was really fucked up.

what do i say to him? we didnt really get along as kids but that doesnt matter too much now. I dont wanna be too forward and just be like "hey remember me? Im your little sis." i feel like no matter what i say its going to be really random

 

i'd just be like hey, are you the same (name here) that used to live (place here) as a kid?

 

Just be real and it should work out nice

 

just talk to him

same happened to me i havent seen my step brother in a long time

then i seen him when i went to go see my dad (hevent seen that guy in a long time too)
i just talked to him

 

I had a 'sister' I didn't know contact me. You will never know how he is going to react....and how he reacts immediately may be different when he has time to think about things.

I don't know that you can prepare for it...just go with it. I would start off simply asking if he remembered you at all.

 

the thought of something new

or the thought of something that seems new

 

I don't know, but good luck.

 

this is so frustrating:banghead:

 

I'd just go with the simple safe approach.

"Hey [name]. I know we haven't talked in a long time, but I was thinking of you and wanted to see how you've been doing."

 

Thinking about what you are going to say or how you will say it will not really help you so much. The energy of the situation will take on its own life.

Again, when my 'sister' called.....she told me straight out who she was and why she was calling. Beating around the bush doesn't help anything.

the sooner you do it the less you will have to beat that little smiley's head against the brick wall.
