Have you tried asking them how they are feeling? My son hurts me emotionally but I know he isn't to blame. He lacks empathy big time and just doesn't understand unless there are real big clues like crying.
I'm already out of there. But they keep torturing my younger brothers who in turn for the first time in a long time(after I moved out) have started talking to me and they have a hard time seeing that my parents are the problem and not me. Basically they are left with the option of either me(their older brother) or my parents...

do not try to turn your brothers against your parents. it is up to them to make that sort of decision. you forcing your opinion on them will not get their respect or understanding.......i realize that you have had a difficult time with your parents. you cannot assume that everyone else feels the same.

it could be serious, but without enough details it's quite hard to say......could just be a misinterpretation of events, could be just a slight against the OP, could be really serious..............more details, please !
