My younger brother was murdered on November 25th 2022. He was murdered by a mate of mine of 27 years. My family are obviously in absolute bits but they have told me they are glad they dont have a face to put to my brothers killer. I on the other hand do. I have found myself having to try to keep a lid on a rage inside me that has, at times, been uncontrollable. I have tried to fight people in the streets, in cars, literally everywhere. Anyone who looks at me for longer than a few seconds will, unfortunately, get a mouthful from me. I have been told this is normal but it doesn’t feel like it is. Am I going mad?
