He, my brother, has had no meaningful contact with anyone in the family for over 25 years.
Who raised his son then if it was not him and his wife?
And what was it that drove him to cut the family ties in the first place?

Well, you're not alone. I think most people have some measure of dysfunction in their families. Many years ago, my worthless aunt fed my mothers addictions in an attempt (and she very much succeeded) to swindle any money she could out of her. That's not to say that my mom had no blame in that whole ordeal, but my aunt is a crafty old sow. I didn't speak to her for almost 15 yrs and she knew why and that she wasn't allowed in my family life anymore. I gave in when she wanted to visit Ma on her death bed. I've got no reason to speak to her after that.He's largely to blame. He, my brother, has had no meaningful contact with anyone in the family for over 25 years. He called my mom a couple days after dad died and talked with her for about 5 minutes and we haven't heard from him since.
He has a 20 year old daughter I've never laid eyes on or even heard her voice.
Can you say 'dysfunctional family'?

Sometimes you're just better off without them. That whole "blood is thicker than water" bit doesn't hold any weight
They did. But kicked him to the curb when he was 18. He had no job, no money, no nothing. Went to live with a friend until my oldest niece found him on FB. My parents said he could come up and stay with them so my sister and BIL went down and got him and it's been all downhill since then.Who raised his son then if it was not him and his wife?
His wife.And what was it that drove him to cut the family ties in the first place?
Absolutely!Sometimes you're just better off without them. That whole "blood is thicker than water" bit doesn't hold any weight if they are a pile of shite
