My (28, m) incredibly abusive mom sustained a severe brain injury and I want to FINALLY cut her out of my life entirely, but I feel guilty because she's so frail.

That might be a good idea, honestly. I'm not sure how I'll go about it yet, but it's something to think about. I just feel like my situation is so niche.

The brother thing is an entirely different issue. I get that he has no control over the way either of us were treated. I'm also very cognizant of the fact that even though my mom didn't hurt him the same way in which she hurt me (and I'm glad of that - nobody should go through that), she still hurt him.

He's just incredibly self-absorbed and has no consideration for anyone unless it benefits him, kinda like the vaccine thing. He also refuses to work or be even the tiniest bit responsible for himself. lol
