A man is facing backlash after threatening his brother with a restraining order if he went anywhere near his niece. The man has been the sole guardian of his niece for most of her life after her parents died when she was a few months old. The brother, who is partially responsible for the parents' deaths, disappeared for over 10 years and only recently showed up sober with a family of his own.
The man refused to let him see his niece but later found out that he had been visiting her at school without permission. The man's actions have caused tensions with his niece and he is struggling with how to handle the situation.
Is he the a**hole for banning his brother from seeing his niece?
