Is it normal my mother want me raise my little brother

My brother is 23 and im 25. I had to do a lot to help raise him even as a child and my mother would scold me for helping. My mother enjoys enabling people when they have issues. Like for example if you say your addicted to crack my mother wouldnt end it just say "how can I help you get crack". However on me both my parents were very harsh and when askong for basics like new clothes or helping me learn to drive was told im a worthless selfish little brat. My mother use to through stuff at me often as well. I left home and got a job in a new city and my mother begged me quit and come home to take care of my achoholic, gay, game addict brother who didn't want to find a job. Who eventually found a job after I left. My mother married a man who she tells to abuse me and my brother becuase we deserve it in her mind. I talked to a freind about all this and they told me my moms just using me becuase she too lazy to raise her son. That im not a horrible person for not coming home.

    You've done well to escape a very unpleasant (and probably deranged) mother.

    We don't choose our families, and there's no cosmic law which requires us to always help family members or even like them if they are obnoxious, abusive people.

    You have your own life now - live it as best you can. Your mother, brother, and step-father are in their own little private, self-created hell, and you should leave them to it. Your mother's crap parenting helped make your brother the person he is now, and so there's some justice in her having to deal with the consequences of her actions without any help from you.

    Your mother is a terrible person. Do not trust anything she says about anything. She's a cunt!

    This sounds like mental/emotional abuse. It is not okay and you shouldn't feel bad for not going home. Even if it wasn't physical mental abuse is just as bad. Wounds heal, mental scars don't
