[quote=Anonymous]The good that could come from this is your brother will always know you have his back, and won't keep secrets from him that are huge and are about him.  It's a bond between you and your brother.  How would you feel if this was you?  The guilt alone would kill me.  You have to tell him in-person face to face.  No kids around.  There is no perfect time, and no need to tell him if it's a really bad time in his life now, but I can tell you that the worst time for this to come out is at someone's funeral.  Your approach should be - this is what grandma said to me the other day.  Tell him this is the first you heard of it, and the two of you can analyze it together, figure out next steps , maybe even talk to grandma together.  There will still be alot of unanswered quesitons, but at least you have given him a heads up.  That's what love is.  Love and respect is doing things that are right, even if they are hard.  Imagine if 10 years later, he learns of this by accident, and learns that you were told.  Would you prefer that scenario? I wouldn't.  Show him this thread. [/quote]
