Hi thisismeagan,
One possible explanation is that he must feel shame. Shame and guilt for being in jail and for the lost years. Someone told me once that it gets to the point where the time has been so long that the person thinks it’s TOO long to ever make going back an option.
If you’re up for it ~ and it’s TOTALLY optional! ~ find out where he lives now (a private investigator can help you with that). And contact/Visit him. Also visit and contact your siblings. Don’t worry, despite what people say, their lives won’t be “ruined”. He did after all, bring it on himself. You do exist. You Do!!
Now, after you visit these people, if they act like anything less than family ~ at least you tried. Then you can leave ~ on YOUR terms!
Blessings,
Inky
