A person discovers their parents' long-held secret about an adopted brother after their mother's passing. The parent believes they concealed this to protect their children from emotional turmoil. The writer feels betrayal and must decide whether to inform their sister and if they should try to find their brother. It is suggested that the writer share the information with their sister to foster openness and mutual decision-making regarding their brother. Before pursuing any search for the brother, they should clarify their intentions and understand their family's openness to the situation.
If I were you, I'd want to tell your sister—for her own sake, and the sake of your relationship. Imagine how she'll feel if she does find out one day, and learns that you knew and kept it from her as well.
Before you decide whether to search for him, be clear with yourself about what you want. I think you'll also need to try to find out what, if any, contact your father and/or sister are open to where he's concerned.
