Congratulations on your new relationship and more importantly taking care of you first.
Unfortunately, it's not something any loving parent would do.
Much of my plight stems from wanting to protect my brothers from our father's cruelty. He's treated them very poorly in many ways our entire lives. Me too, but I always thought I could handle him better and that I was tough enough to take it.
Brother has good reasons to be angry, but his anger is toxic and he lets it consume him instead of finding solutions to his problems.
