That's the strength of your love and your bond. I don't think you have to stop caring for someone because they did something terrible. I don't know what he's done or what he chose to do, but...

It's not wrong to hold onto your love even if it may hurt.
My brother is kind. He is kind to a fault. Kind enough to be cruel to himself for the sake of others. He's fastidious about so many things, but it's hard to question how much he cares. He may come off overbearing to some, but he was someone I never cared to step out of the shadow of.

It can be... difficult, to care so much for someone like that. When they're capable of cruelty to themselves, or of accepting too much from others... mine wasn't quite like that, but someone else who I love is.
[knowing they'll allow it for others' sakes is always so...
it makes him want to help even more.]
In your place... I would care very much for him too, but I would worry over him so often.

I don't worry about how much they care or how much they want to help or even that they're not strong enough, but...
I wish they would be less alone in it. I want them to be kinder to themselves.
