It is adorable and hilarious watching kids that are barely able to walk trying to kick a football! And when they get confused about which goal is their's and whether they can use their hands or not. Love it and can't wait til next week

Its my brothers dad.
And if I want to get to see my brother more then I have to suck it up and share time.

I wish his dad would have just stayed away.
I wish my family would quit trying to baby my brother and tell him just how bad it was. This man does not deserve to be back in his life.

That is your opinion, but you aren't really in the position to say the father doesn't deserve to be in his son's life. Especially since it appears your brother is actively seeking his company. From what you've posted so far in the last few days about your brother, his character sounds suspect.

His dad sought him out. My brother visits him when he comes down here to visit.
They usually agrue about things but my brother was reslly torn up about not having a father in his life that I guess hes accepting what he gets.

We're just waiting for him to figure it out.

The last time I saw MY dad he wouldn't quit smoking cigarettes around my brother. My brothers airway would close. I told him if he did it one more time I wasn't going to have anything to do with him. He lit up a cig and that was the last time I saw him. I was 9.

My brother needs to demand that his dad not only accepts him but all his family members too. If I chose to get in touch with my dad and he had an issue with my family being around too, itd be a deal breaker. The way I look at it, ive been in my brothers life the whole time. Ive been a real family member. This man hasn't been a father or any type of family.

He dominates my brothers time down here and controls him. Tries to buy his compliance.

My brothers girlfriend is coming. She's going to hate it over there. She'll get my brother to stay with db and I. His father is trying to make up for lost time and when my brother comes to visit his dad usually tries to set a bunch of rules and him and my brother fight and then he leaves his dads and comes to stay here. After all I'm not some crazy tool who going to tell a 20 year old what to do. Next day his dad guilts him into hanging out.

He'll see one day.

He hasn't figured it out?

He doesn't need to tell his father to "accept" his other family, but he should tell his father to be mindful of and respect the boundary and shut down the connection if his father chooses to cross the line. There's a difference. Your brother can only control his part of the equation here. If he's accepting what he gets, then you're just going to have accept that too. (But of course, I'm sure you'll quietly encourage him to stand up for himself.)

I don't know if its the case that he's immature and hasn't really learn how to have boundaries or if he's just one of those people that's attracted to the sort of thing... but even you know he's looking for something. If he's to "see one day", then he needs to be more exposed to his father's presence to get it.

He's just young and his dad is very dominating. He does what he wants and there's really very little budging. His dad is set in his ways and views.

My brother lives out in Colorado and his dad lives a town away from me. They don't live close to each other. Theyve seen each other a handful of times over the last year.
My brother will be down here a few months this time. I know the guy will do something to make my brother upset enough to not talk to him. Or so I can hope.

The man owes me an apology.
He hit me, I was just a child.
If he wants to be in his sons life he needs to start msking amends with the rest of us.

So now as usual it's all about you? If you want him to apologize to you, then ask, but that has nothing to do with your brother's relationship with him, you have no right to demand control over that.
