This isn't to big off a thing, I didn't cause anyone's death, but I still feel terrible.
When I was 10, my mother went searching through my brother room. She had found cigarettes, weed, pills, alcohol, and letters. I had known about this, and when my mother came and asked me if I knew anything about it before she actually looked, she told me that if she figured out I lied I would be punished. I knew that if I told her about anything I knew that my brother would have some serious consequences, and I was scared. I told her that I knew, I didn't want to get in trouble so I saved my ass, so that's when she looked and found all of the stuff. My brother got kicked out.
To this day, I still haven't told my brother that I'm the reason he got kicked out. I feel terrible and I'm just so afraid of what would happen if he knew. Now my brother and my mother are getting along okay, and I still have a very good relationship with him. I just don't know if I should tell him that it was my fault.
