I am trying to get back into early intervention education. I was asked to leave because of my attendance. I had a lot going on in my personal life(I.e my brother‘s worsening substance abuse problems and trying to fix him by going to NAAMs 3 times didn’t work as he checked himself out after two days and to the point that now he’s had a stroke due to his addictio) I was too embarrassed to explain my situation and just took unpaid leave or MCs. Should I have been more open to my employers ?

It's difficult - if you felt like your business offered you psychological safety ie no repercussions based on what you'd say then yes maybe you should have opened up. It doesn't mean you'd necessarily get extra leaves but maybe more empathy. However many businesses don't offer this so then people often hide struggles and personal life issues. which sounds like your case. Seek an inclusive employer next time round...
