Looks like you were forced to grow up pretty quickly.
If it were me, I would do just that--grow up asap: get my GED, get a job, get a license and car, and get the heck away from there.
Then again, there is always that nagging feeling of loyalty... of wanting to make sure your brother isn't bullied (by your stepdad, among other things).
I think you hit on a key point, though; you're pretty much stuck where you are since you don't have a high school diploma. So perhaps take one thing at a time, and try to get that diploma. You're not too old to do so, from the sounds of it. After obtaining that, a lot of options will open up.
Some people seem to just get the worst of it in life, and we don't know why. I wish I knew why God picked some people to put through intense pain and not others. I wish I believed life always turned out for the best...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
