I screwed up

[messedup]

I stole money from my parents.
And now they think my brother did it. If I don't confess, my parents' relationship with my brother will be ruined. And maybe mine too.
If I confess, I throw away my life.

Why is this so hard? I'm so messed up. I had planned to return the money today, but my mon checked the safe before I could. She never checks the safe. This is so screwed up.
