I 23/F think I have found my 21/M Brother who ran away from home 9 years ago and we never found him, and I don’t know how to approach him incase it’s not him.
4KLittle background my younger brother ran away from home when I was 14. Apparently my mother beat him very nude and much and told him to go away and he's not her child anymore after he broke a new TV while playing football in the house. She says she didn't mean it and was just disciplining him and said that in the heat of the moment. My brother was a always one of those troublesome kids, care free, little too much adventurous but he had a good heart and I loved him very much .
At first we thought he would just comeback then hours went by, we started to get worried. After a day we with him coming back he started to search for him, we asked around, called the cops and filled a missing person report. We searched for him for a long time and never found him. His disappearance tore my family apart. My dad blamed my mom and and they divorced shortly after my 15th birthday. The relationship between my grandparents and my mom deteriorated.
Fast forward to about a month ago I got a job as an intern at a logistic company in my country. I am as an assistant as a driver dispatcher. One of the driver's name caught my attention a week ago .It's was exactly the same as my brothers. The driver came back about 3 days ago from his shipment and I have been kind of observing him. And he kind of looks like my brother. He resembles my dad. And I don't know if I am the one who's making this observations be cause I want to or the resemblance is actually there.
Now I have been sleepless for days wondering if I should approach him? What if its not him? I am a shy person and not really good with people. Will he think I am crazy? Should I at least do some more homework before I approaching him? And whauf it's him should I tell my parents?
Just to clarify: I was still at school when it happened and my dad was still at work. That's when we came home to find him gone.
TLDR: I think a driver in the company I work for might be my brother who ran away 9 years ago. I don't know how to approach him.
