bio:
The Weak Link in the Bloodline
Ben Garvey wasn’t the protector.
He was the disappointment.
People assume the older brother is the strong one.
The leader.
The shield.
Ben wasn’t any of those.
He avoided conflict. He avoided responsibility. He avoided truth.
He followed the wrong people. He made the wrong alliances.
He chose survival through silence… even when Jack needed him most.
Jack became smart because he HAD to.
Ben never stepped up — and those choices shaped everything that came after.
Sometimes the worst betrayals aren’t the ones that stab you in the back.
They’re the ones that just… never show up for you.
quote:
“He taught me how to survive—and what not to become.”
