Military Brother

So my brother was deployed to Iraq about 5 or 6 months ago and he is in the infantry and immediatly in harms danger. I feel bad because my brother and I have never really got along because he did alot of shitty things to me when he lived at home. He's only 19 years old and we never talk because I can't seem to get over what happened then. I really want to talk to him but I don't know what to say or where to start. I'm afraid he's going to die overseas and I don't want it to end with us not getting along at all..Any Advice?

First off I want to say, I do not knoew what your brother may have done to you.
The important thing is, Do you forgive him?
If you do then tell him so! If not then tell him so! Whatever the case get it out so you both can deal with it.

thanks bob59 but i dont forgive my brother. I wish i could but im just having a real hard time with it. I dont want to tell him so because he is trying to make it right and i dont want to add to his stresses of being on the front line in Iraq. I just have so much built up anger and i cant let it go

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
