I hate admitting I'm terrified of my little brother

Transcript

One thing that I hate admitting I'm terrified of my little brother. Like my little brother is doing 25 to life and that motherfucker called me like a month ago. This is a conversation that happened a month ago and I'm still terrified of him ever since he said this. But we were talking because he's doing 25 to life cuz he did something to somebody. And I was like, I don't know what to do. I'm just older sister so I think he was looking to me for like, what do I do? And I was like, we gotta find therapy, we gotta find something. But there's no therapy in that prison. Oh my god. I don't know what you do when you want people like, still. I was like, maybe our, like, are you like a serial killer? Like what's going on? But yeah, I'm terrified of my little brother. He's only 22 years old. He scares the shit out of me. And I don't know what to do to save him. I'm just like, I don't know what you want me to do, but don't take anyone else out. I kept telling him, I was like, I don't want you to take anyone else out. I got this. I got it with my words. I don't know what to fucking do. He's crazy.
