Chuck's appears to be, what, 15 years older than Jimmy? When Chuck was in this 30s building a law practice and getting reports about his ****up brother getting in trouble again (a brother he likely never really lived with), where do you think that support was going to come from?

I think the age gap is overlooked here. Jimmy was probably around 3 when Chuck likely left the roost and Chuck was in his self-absorbed teenage years even when Chuck was an baby. There's going to be very little in the way of familiarity and the bonds that come from growing up together.

Chuck knows Jimmy almost secondhand; Jimmy's as much a distant cousin as he is a brother.

I just don't think it's fair to expect unwavering support from Chuck here - there wasn't a history together to build it on.
