And if learning Koine Greek, how would you go about learning it?

Hi,

I(25M) really need some help, because my younger brother(23M) is not doing well. And that is my fault. In our childhood I was a horrendous older brother especially in the years 8-12(i think, it's a bit fuzzy). I also have a sister(20F) who I hopefully didn't harm in as serious a manner since due to her age I didn't have much in common with her.

My brother, lets call him Kyle, and I played together a lot and without adult supervision as my mom was burnt out being a single mom with 3 kids and a job and an abusive ex husband and the social fallout of divorce.

In this time during play and when we were home alone I would play too roughly which ended up in him getting hurt and cry. I would respond by mocking him. When we played with others, for example other siblings, they would always have each others backs which Kyle has told me completely shattered him. Especially the times when we would get in conflicts with other kids and I would just leave him alone. I would often at home chase him behind the couch, mentally tormenting him there with taunts and letting him stay there, crying for help that never came for hours.

In these years Kyle made a promised to himself that he would never forgive me.

I am not pointing fingers at my dad for my own doings, but I know I was to some degree physically abused as a small child and this maybe had an impact in my behavior. Anyway, this is not about me.

Things got much better as the years passed, and that behavior was completely gone by the time of my confirmation. Kyle is now living at home, I am studying abroad, and Kyle is just rotting away, playing videogames, sometiems drinking on the weekends, and the like. He has told me that, though we are amicable and often have great times, he has a deepseeded pain and bitterness towards me.

What I am worried about is his future trajectory. I would never forgive myself if the damage I have caused him in those years ruined the entirety of his life. I cannot change the past, but what do I do now? I have told and encouraged him multiple times to go to therapy on my dime, but he seems to have no motivation, no goals, no interests besides gaming and social media.

I am begging you, please show me the way forward.
