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. I didn't try to think what could have happened and passed it as a joke. My brother did not reveal it to anyone. I almost forgot what had happened. Then after 1.5 years I came accross an article internet about a death caused by someone being hit by a baseball bat hurled at him. I recalled the oincident and realised that I might have murdered my own brother or made him disabled, blind, brain damaged.... can't type more. I contacted my brother, he didn't want to discuss the topic and shunned me away regarding this topic. I live away from home and visit my parents and brother twice a month. What can I do now? My parents are busy and have their own problems. My father has high blood pressure. Should I confess my guilt to my parents? or Should I keep quiet and try to forget the incident?

Its time to put it behind you and move on. Learn from this, and dont let your anger get the best of you because things are done in anger that cannot ever be undone. Be glad that you didnt hit him and dont do it again.
Do not tell your parents, there is no need to upset them. Mal

reader, anonymous, writes (6 September 2010): WEll I think that you should apologise to your brother for what you did. Write it in an e-mail or a letter and really tell him that you regret what you did. Don't force him to talk about it, but a letter is something that he can read on his own.
Now that you have come to realise that what you did was wrong, you should forgive yourself. It was irrational act of jealousy and I would say, anger and although it was extreme in nature I doubt you intend to do it again. So forgive yourself, make a vow never to hurt anyone again in such a manner and move on.
