I voted "Cat boy has a problem", which answers the poll as far as it goes, but I have a shitload of questions.

This kid was born when you were 19. How much did you live in the same house with him? How well do you know each other?
You have the same father, if I read this correctly. What's your relationship with him like? What's your relationship with your dad's woman like? For that matter, what's your relationship with your mother like, and what's her take on all this?
What did your dad, and whoever he was living with at the time, do for/with you from 19 to your early twenties? Did they send you to college? Did they send you on a trip? Did you continue to live at home? Did you have a job and support yourself while living somewhere else?
Are you in fact a virgin at 41, or does your alias here relate to something else? How many dates have you had in the last 5 years? A qualitative answer will do, as I don't expect an exact number.
Note that he had pictures of his cat, not of his parents. Why is this? What's his relationship with his parents like, as you see it?
Have you ever spoken with your dad about this kid in the past? Have you aired concerns? Have you ignored him? Why did he feel that he should call you when he felt he was having problems? Who does he have, other than his parents, to lean on when he needs to talk? Do you know?
Who did you have to talk to when you were his age? Who do you have now, where I discount anyone you can't or don't get to in person: on-line is not relevant to this inquiry.
Why is it that, before I get answers to the above questions, I see two similar people, your half-brother and you? Throwing stones from your glass house is not a good idea.
I'm sorry if these questions seem rough, but you're judging your half-brother pretty harshly so I figure it's time you considered these questions yourself. You claim, at age 41, that tactlessness is a good thing, after all. How does it feel to be on the receiving end?

I can't speak for your respective mothers, but I think your dad has a lot to answer for. And so do you, yourself. Catboy has a problem, yes, but so do you. What are you doing about it?
