if your family is being dense about why you and your brother don't get along, then don't participate anymore. and why do you need to be polite with your mother about why you have not been on the calls? why can't you say 'I'm 21 and it's time to grow up. Bro continues to antagonize me in family events/calls and I'm done with it. Dad can fix this by fixing bro.

I still rely on them financially as I am in university so I can't mess up... Other wise things will get a bit difficult for me. It's best if I stay on good terms

here is a recommendation...since you rely on them $$, get back on the calls and when brother starts to get pissy, say something like 'i don't know how to respond to that'. let your parents witness his pissiness. then when you are on your own, you can go NC>

Uff the amount of times I've said that phrase... But NC is definitely going to happen at some point
