<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

My brother was a thief. He drunkenly stole a car and had an accident, causing major damage to another person. He got 10 years in prison.

After he was sent to prison my parents were devastated. My father was a sober alcoholic for 15 years and he started drinking again, and eventually died of cancer. My mother killed herself a little later leaving me all alone when I was 20. I understand that my brother isn't to blame for what happened to them as he didn't intentionally want these to happen, but his actions led to those things happening nevertheless. I stopped visiting him after mom died.

For the next two years he's been off my mind completely. I haven't given him any thought. But now I learned that he's been out for two months now and he's staying with our uncle, helping out with his farm. He hasn't tried to reach me.

I don't know if I should reach out. I'm guessing he stayed away from me after his release because I stopped visiting him years ago so he's respecting my wishes. He was 22 when it all happened so a lot of time has passed and I don't really know what kind of person he is now. I don't know how I'd feel if I see him again. I welcome any and all suggestions and advice.
<bot>: Brother did crimes which got him sent to prison and that was the start of a chain that destroyed our family and left my parents dead. He's out now. Not sure if I should start contact.
