please! break the silence. they are threatening you as a tool to keep you quiet. tell anyone you can! if they don't believe you, tell another person, and another person. someone WILL believe you. and once that someone listens and then finds out you've told others who would not listen, they can compare stories and realize you were not lying or making this up. they will take you seriously. please don't give up! you'll be helping you and your brother! please take care
