My baby brother had me crying at the Mexican restaurant when he said

“Why couldn’t he just live next door so I could just walk there”

He said other heartbreaking things about his other sibling that competes with him and bullies him and his father just being blind to it all.

But that one made me lose my appetite.

Yeah I playfully say I love my kids enough to not have them, but I mean it.

the trauma that close family causes is often the worst.
Especially parents...
I'm sorry for what your family is going through... Be the change... don't let it just sit distasteful with you...
intervene...
whenever you see something wrong/evil, try to fix it with your hands (with action)... if that doesn't work then try to fix it with your mouth (speak up/out)... and if that doesn't work, then the last resort is to just hold it in contempt in your heart & mind...

you can be the means through which your family changes for the better... Don't underestimate yourself in this.
