I just felt like punching him out.I haven't see him or talked to him in months. Now he wants repair our relatetionship and and wants see me on christams after his girlfriend walked out on him. Before this happen this he being a jerk to me so thats why I didnt talk to him. I keep telling he no because he might hurt again or start ignoring me again when get he another girlfriend (he did that to me when he was still in high school). But you think I should try and trust him again?

 Speaking as a foster carer, i know families are very very important. Your brother at 19 wasnt ready to commit to you at that time. I would give it another go,but don't forget to play your part correctly. Treat him with respect and try not to fall out with him. Work at the relationship and try to treat him as a big brother who is there to look after you. Tell him how you feel by talking calmly and not going overboard or you may frighten him again to letting you go. You must be feeling upset and angry because your parents arent there for you, at least he is opening his heart to you and that has got to be a good thing. I hope you both have a nice Christmas together. hope this helps.

But don't let him blow it more than twice before he matures a bit more. Even if it doesn't work this time, when he's older and wiser it might. But don't let him hurt you repeatedly - tell him you will only give him two chances to prove himself.
