I told my Auntie about what happened when I was younger. Which turned out to be a good thing, because a similar thing happened to her.
I'm quite tempted to talk to my mum, and explain. Because on one hand, it would make sense to them why I get depressed so easily, and why this lead to an overdose last week. On the other, it might tear the family apart and it will upset my mother to no end, because it was my brother who did it to me. He's my half brother, and if this was ever mentioned when we were growing up, my mum always made such an effort to make sure me and my little brother never saw him as any less of a sibling just because he had a different dad..
It's not something that will go away, which I hoped it might, it's going to continue affecting me, so is it fair to be honest with my parents even if it could result in a hell of a lot of upset and fighting? Or should I just keep it in and keep struggling on?
Also, I'm worried that if I tell, my brother will either deny it, or worse make it seem like I wanted it or played an equal part and are just looking for attention..
I hate not being honest with my parents about this! And I know once they know, they'd rarther I told them. What should I do?
