Get out while you still can! Dont worry about your brother he's too young to understand what they do to you. Move to another state, anything! just get out, if you dont, you will just get sucked in even more. Ask yourself this , would most of your problems and why you get upset and depressed go away if your parents werent around constantly? You need to establish yourself as an individual. not as a sub-human part of them. You are not an attachment of them, or the younger version. I dont know how old you are but it doesnt matter. You will always be a little kid in their eyes. The only way to stop the cycle is to go away for awhile and come back fresh and older and wiser and more confidant. Once they see this new you, they will treat you different maybe even as an equal (i shudder to think !) Ok maybe my own life with my parents came into this speel. I'll shut up now. But this happened to my sister and me. Once my sister moved out and had her own life, she wasnt a little kid anymore. of course i still live with them :(
