Navigating Family Dynamics: Ask Amy's Top 5 Advice Columns on Sibling Relationships.

A father seeks advice on how to explain his brother's incarceration to his young children. Amy suggests sharing positive memories of the brother and explaining that he broke important rules and laws, but that he misses them and is excited to meet them someday. In another letter, a reader asks if it's okay to not want a relationship with a sibling who has betrayed them. Amy advises that while it's their right to choose, they may miss the opportunity for an apology or reconciliation if they don't try to come together as a family. Lastly, Amy responds to a reader's comment on a previous letter, stating that while expecting a response to friendly greetings is not entitled, it's different from men telling women to smile.
