I (20m) just found out that my brother (15m) was raped earlier this year.

Some background: I came back home in July (when international travel was opened) to spend some time with my family. Over the past couple of months, I've been noticing that my brother has been very moody and has periods when he seems extremely dull and sad. Having gone through a very depressive stage in my own life, I recognized the symptoms he was showing and suspected that he might be going through something similar. He has had a history of low motivation and addiction to videogames/anime, so thinking these were linked to the state of his mental health, I tried to talk to him a couple of times about the dangers of addiction and how to find a more positive outlet for his time and energy, but he never seemed to register anything I said.Today, he got his grades back from his most recent set of assessments in school, and he ended up getting an F in Math (something he usually gets straight As in), as well as poor grades in other subjects. He is a very, very smart kid, so when she saw his grades, my mother expressed her concerns about my brother to me and suggested that I talk to him sometime soon. Later tonight, she came into our room while my brother was sleeping and took his phone, telling me that she would give it back sometime later as he has been spending a lot of time on it. Then, around half an hour or so later, I got a text from my parents asking me to come into their room; my mother had been reading my brothers texts, suspecting that his friends may have been bullying him, and stumbled across a text where my brother confided to a couple of his friends that he had been raped earlier in the year while attending a wedding with family. He said that two unknown women had tied him down in a bathroom and done some things (which I won't repeat here), and that he has since been having constant nightmares and been unable to function properly.For the last couple of hours, I have been working through how I feel about the situation and how I should handle it. I strongly think I should talk to him about it somehow, as we have always had a very close relationship and I believe he trusts me. However, he is not aware that my parents and I know what happened to him, and I am not sure how he will react to us having obtained this knowledge without his awareness or consent.Should I try to bring this subject up with him, and if so, how should I approach it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. via /r/MenGetRapedToo https://ift.tt/367De2V
