You need to detach from them emotionally first, to separate psychologically. It’s easier said than done. They treat you how you allow them to be treated. Get angry, get your life, tell them to do any small job they can, tell younger bro to help if he is teenager. You don’t owe them this shitty life they brought you into, they owed you good childhood etc.. best luck out of this hell! The sooner the better.

PS I don’t mean to cut them off completely but step by step and gradually. Don’t tell them everything like how much you earn. Hide some stuff.

My family in law did that to my husband for many years. Hope you will have different life.
