Has your brother ever realized that BAD parenting caused his bad attitudes towards you?
IMO, bad parenting is the CURSE of the world and is the underlying cause of literally ALL human misbehavior and cruelty.
God blessed the child who has adequate parents!
I'm very sorry for how you were damaged as a child and wish you much success in turning your early injuries around and maybe rebuilding a good relationship with your brother so your life will be way better from now on. 
good luck,

I'm sorry you were treated like this too Jim. No, not at all. My brother sees me as the enemy, the toxic one, not my Mother. If I say anything about the abuse, and confront my mother/parents... I'm considered a liar, and they have a complete hostile meltdown for me bringing this up. My brother gets mad, and see's me as someone who upsets the family and starts trouble. So, I don't say anything anymore.
When growing up, he was in his own bubbled world, denying any abuse he saw my mother and father do to me. But he took notice when my father treated him badly. But it didn't last for long because my mother would punish my father for going after the wrong child. So my father learnt quick who to blame and go after if she was around.
