I almost killed my younger brother.

I was playing cricket with my younger brother a year ago. I was 19 & he was 17. He got me out and I got angry at his celebration and threw the heavy cricket bat towards him. Had the bat hit him he probably would have died. Luckily the bat didn´t touch him and he survived. We didn´t narrate this incident to our parents and almost forgot it soon. But suddenly I recalled this incident and realised the possible consequences. I feel extremely guilty and I feel I deserve punishment for attempted murder. What should I do? Is it normal to feel this way?

    if you haven't yet, maybe you should apologize to him. but it's in the past now, and you didn't hurt or kill him. so that's good.

    It's not really attempted murder you were not trying to and u didn't acctually want to kill him. You should talk to your brother about it appologize

    The thing is that the bat didn't hit him and he's still alive, so forget about it and enjoy your life.

    Should such incidents between siblings and friends considered attempted murder, we'd have most of the population of earth in jails.

    It wouldn't be normal if you actually wished it would have killed him. If you feel remorseful and wish you had some kind of punishment, you aren't a bad person and you don't have bad intentions. Just try to be more careful next time and try to control your temper. Don't live in the past, what happened happened, and luckily he is still alive. Why relive the painful memory? It's not even worth it, just move on and have a wonderful life. Good luck! (:

    Being the youngest of 3 sisters and 4 brothers I to have had such thoughts of killing my brothers, When i was young, They use to do horrible things to me. like When they played darts they would force me to hold the dart board. Or when we us to play bb guns. i was the target. I was phisicaly and mentally damaged by my brothers, and also they would molest my sisters. so dont feel bad...

    Its perfectly normal to feel guilt over something like that. Imo, apologize to him. He probably doesn't even care.

    Its not attempted murder, you werent trying to kill him just hurt him, and luckily you didnt, and he was fine, and shit happens, and try not to lose your temper again. Stop beating yourself up man, I threw my little brother thru a wardrobe on christmas day once, my older brother chipped three of my teeth punching me in the face cuz i turned off his playstation without saving the game, and broke one of his fingers slamming it in a door once. Sibling fun dude.

    my brother and i were fighting over scissors and he let go and i had hold of the pointy end and they ended up in my head. i have a nice scar on the top of the my head because of it but i never used it against him or made him feel guilty about it and we never really spoke about it but if he did feel guilty then i would just tell him that it was an accident and that its all okay. but for you to act out in anger like that so easy, i think maybe you should go to anger management and if you feel so guilty about it, apologise to your brother, get it off your chest and move on.

    Personally i think this is a silly question.. We all do things that could seriously hurt someone if things go bad. It doesnt make us bad people. But if it would make you feel better go ahead and lock yourself away for a few years! :P
