Am I wrong for what i did ?
For the past 10 years, my brother, his wife, and their daughter have lived with me and my mom in the same house.
His wife has bullied me for years. She used to use me as a “bad example” for her daughter, saying things like “listen to me or you’ll end up with bad teeth and bad eyesight like your aunt.” She constantly called me skinny, told me no man would ever want me, and said I should focus on gaining weight instead of studying.
What hurt even more is that my brother never defended me. Not once. He always let her disrespect me and my mom. She also never helped around the house and constantly created tension with everyone.
Things got worse after I finished my studies and got a job. She started causing more problems at home, especially with me. Eventually, she suggested to my brother that my mom should force me to move out so they could be “more comfortable.”
My mom refused. Instead, she gave them 3 months to move out. I told my mom honestly that I couldn’t keep living like this anymore, and that if she chose to keep them there over me, I would leave and never come back.
Now my brother is blaming me for everything. He told me that if anything bad happens to his children because he isn’t financially stable enough to move out, he will never forgive me. He says I made his children homeless.
I feel guilty, but at the same time I feel like I’ve spent years being disrespected in my own home.
Am I wrong for finally reaching my limit?
