Well...fortunately my T told my mum for me as he was apparently allowed to if he thought I was in danger. She acted well, since then I have told a few other people and everyone of them has reacted differently. Now, if I feel I want someone to know, if just pull my sleeves up and come straight out with it.
I'd say just get it out as quickly as you can or even write a note and hand it to him. Then you can say everything before he reacts. If you write it down then I am guessing your brother will want to read to the end - then you can actually get in WHY you do it and there wont be any awkward questions afterwards.
Sorry my sentences are badly structured...it's 4am I want to sleep XD
Love
