What do I do with this secret?

0

I’m not exactly a teen anymore but I need some help none the less. So my older brother, Garrett, is dating this girl,Sam, and I had a really bad feeling about their relationship. On a constant basis he brings her into his room and they hang out in there instead of out in the open with the family. They went down to Vegas recently to watch her younger brother graduate and instead of staying with her parents or our older sister they got a hotel room together. While they were away I went into his room looking for something. What i found was rather disturbing. He had x-rated ‘toys’ which making me extremely worried for his well being. I feel they have done somethings that are against the churches standards and they act as if they are living without sin. Garrett still goes to church and passes and blesses the sacrament and he still goes to the temple and performs baptisms and confirmations.
So my problem is this… what do i do? I feel as if I intruded his personal privacy but this is some pretty serious stuff that is going on.

I can understand where you are coming from. I mean you can talk to your brother about this, but in the end we were given free will. Just explain your thoughts to him if you absolutely feel you have to.

Well, I don't know a lot about your situation at home, but this is what I think I would do. From what you've said, I'm assuming you're mormon... I am too. I think one of the first things I would do would be to talk to one (or both) of my parents. I think you are being sincere about your concern for your brother, but you don't want to figure this out on your own. (Although, it's possible your parents already know, if he got a separate hotel room.) If you feel like talking to your parents isn't right, you can always go talk to the bishop. Everything is confidential there, and he will be guided to know what to do and also how to help you. Either way, talk to someone you trust!
