My oldest brother, H, is an autistic adult, and my parents are his legal guardians. He was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive to me and my other brother, T, throughout our entire childhood. Both of us now suffer from PTSD because of that. Recently, my mom mentioned something about expecting me and T to take over guardianship of H if something happened to her and my dad. There's no way that can happen, right? I can't even be in the same room as H without having a panic attack. T has an infant daughter whom he would never allow to live with H due to H's abusive actions and some sexual comments he made to a 9-year-old female relative.
Also, if T and I are not expected to take over guardianship, what will happen to H? If it's really awful, my extended family will likely sever contact with me and T, as they're not aware of the extent of the abuse. We would like to maintain a relationship with our family, but neither of us can take care of H.
H was never reported to the police, and T and I have no proof he abused us.
