You kinda remind me one of my close classmate, the only difference is that at first she hated her baby brother when it was born because she thought that he was going to get all the attention (Well I don't blame her because she was not treated like a child on her family and her greatest opponent before her brother was born is her older sister and honestly up until now) but when he saw her baby brother for the first time in this bittersweet world as you said, her vision in life change. Her baby brother became her strength when she fall down, his brother gave her the reason why she need to continue living in that fateful family.

She assured to herself that her brother will not ever confront the bad experiences that she had when she was still young... well she is still young to be a mother-like to his baby brother. If you are going to hear her story your heart will move. I always call her an independent woman (somtimes superwoman) because she was really the only one that care for her brother. Well their mother also care but not like the care of a real mother should. However, their father is a well-bred, nice, loving, caring etc... like the father should be but also blind on how their mother treated them.

I'm sorry if I wrote this... I am out of myself. After reading your story the first one that came up on my mind was my classmate and I didn't even notice that I wrote her biography.. well a summary of her biography. Please don't be mad at me, it's just your story can reach and touch my heart. And I felt being a big sister while reading this coz I am an only daughter of my parents so I somehow a little bit curious about it. Well, thank you for writing this.. :)
