Wow I am in exactly the same situation... My brother and I act normal to each other when others are around, even though I try to avoid him as much as possible.. He is now even trying to improve our relationship by asking me a lot of questions about me and my life, but all I want is to never see him again and move on with myself. My parents have no clue and often blame me for acting weird around my brother. I am not even sure if he remembers what he did or if I am also making it up...
