Stories are magical. A story can be as complex as you want it or as simple or as twisted or as healing as we want. This story is complex and twisted, but the ending is filled with hope. I could never look down on the brothers. The bad stuff is never going to go away, but now I can hope they have happy moments for whatever remains of their lives. In some stories, the happier you are, the more brutal you can be to protect it. Sigh. Good luck to them all.
