First, I’m so sorry about you and your brother’s upbringing. No child should have to go through this. You have made a miraculous life from the short hand you were dealt with.
As for your brother, he did not make the difficult life choices to get out of his childhood victimization. Unfortunately, he struggles if his own relationships and his violent and disruptive behavior towards those who care for him is a reflection of your parent’s relationship.
Having said this, you, under no obligations, have to continue to help or reconnect with him. He needs psychological help, just as you have been receiving. The US criminal justice system, does not care about your brother’s mental health. We all have to face our demons to get better. There is no way around it. You have tried to help your brother, your mother may have tried to help your brother abd in return, you both now fear for your self and you family. This is you signal to step away. If you don’t, it may get worse. Step way and know that you tried. Step away and disconnect for your family’s sake.
