Should i confess to my parents that i almost killed my younger brother

More than a year ago when I was 19, I was playing cricket with my younger brother who was 17. He got me out and I got angry and jealous at his celebration and threw the heavy cricket bat with great force towards him. LUCKILY the bat missed him. At that time we didn't narrate this incident to anyone. We forgot the incident and went along as normal as before.

Now about a month ago I recalled the incident and realised the consequences had I not been that lucky. I also searched the net and saw that a no. of deaths/blindness/grievous have occurred due to cricket bats and even lighter baseball bats. I am feeling horrible and tried to talk to my brother. My brother didn't want to discuss the topic and shunned me away.

My parents are facing their own problems as of now. My father(50) has been transferred suddenly, has high BP while my mother is too busy with her work. I live away from home for a job and visit my family two sundays a month.

Should I confess my disgusting act to my parents?
Or do I deserve a more severe punishment by law enforcement authorities?
Or should I hide this incident from everyone for whole of my life and live my life shamelessly as if nothing happened(I have been doing that for over a year and a half)?

    It depends on how big his celebration was.

    Considering this is at least the second time you have posted this, I highly recommend seeing a therapist to help you work through your guilt. We all have done things that could have had dire consequences, but most of us are able to walk away with a lesson learned.
    Don't trouble your parents with this right now. I believe you need to work through this issue with a counselor before you talk about it with any of your family. Good luck. You need to quit being so hard on yourself about this and move on.

  • Let it go. If I got hung up on all the times I could have burned or maimed myself or my sister I'd be a raving lunatic...
    I just shrug it off now and look at it as a lesson. I know the mistakes I made and I don't make the same ones twice now.

    Dude you obviously have issues, if your brother doesnt care then why should you? Maybe you should seek professional help to help deal with your obsession with the past.

    Read the comments from your first post. If you're looking for attention I'd try somewhere else.

    I agree with stealinsugars, I have read this b4 and agree u should see a therapist. Your patents sound like they hve problems of their own at the moment, he didn't get harmed, siblings fight all the time just don't do anything like that ever again. If u really want to confess to your patents make sure b4 u tell them they arnt in a stressed mood and explain how bad u feel and how much it has affected your life since it happened, then tell them what u did. Like I said, he didn't get hurt badly by it so it should be ok

    LOOK a kid in the 6th grade took a hard metal bat to the head and survived. It was a girl. So... DONT WORRY ABOUT IT!

    I wouldn't tell anyone that, it didn't happen, so don't let yourself believe it's still a big deal.
    Once you threw the bat, there was two results, either it hit him or it didn't, you got the good result, so why make a bad thing out of it?

    Let it be an example of what could possibly happen when you loose your temper... I wouldn't think about it again, because, it did not happen. Don't punish yourself.

    When i was younger i was really angry at my mom and locked myself in my room. My aunt was trying to talk to me through the door to try and make me feel better but i was so angry i picked up a knife and stabbed it through the door. I didn't know that my aunt had put her head against my door so she could hear me better. So apparently i came very close to killing my aunt because immediately after she saw the blade 2 inches from her face she started crying because she was scared for her life.

    Eventually some time had past and she forgave me because she knew that i didn't mean to harm anyone. Just give it some time man, things should work out.

  • SHUT UP and pretend it never happened everytime you bring it up say it was an accident and thrust it out of your mind eventually it'll go away DO NOT TELL ANYBODY DO NTO DISCUSS SURPRESS AND REPRESS unless you want some really bad and awkward shit to go down

    The incident is over and no one was hurt. If you confess and rake up everything now, it will cause all kinds of problems. Just look at what happened as a valuable lesson and move on.

    It's normal to fight with your bro. But... It's not normal to wanna kill him when he beats you at a game. That's pretty stupid. Don't talk about it... Don't confess. Just don't do it again.

    Dude, if me or my bro where to go over the tones and tones of times we almost maimed or killed one another over the years... Wow. The two guys above are right, talk to a counselor to help you work through the gilt first. But just to put your mind at a bit of ease for every story of grievous bodily harm there are ten others of the guy being just fine. I my self have been hit in the head and ribs with an aluminum bat swing with the intent to kill and yah it hurt but I came out of it fine. Your already besting your self up about this plenty. You got mad and lost your temper, did something stupid and you regret it and will never do it again. Good on you man, you will be fine, just work through it. Good luck.

    Agreed with Stealinsugars and Kellstar. The guilt is eating you up and you need to get off your chest.

    Omg get over it, you threw a bat at him and it missed ffs. I threw heaps of shit at my bro when I was younger and you know what? We're best of mates now. So dude, stop thinking about it, do you think your brother thinks about it? I doubt it.
