Feeling a sense of betrayal from my own family
My father just told us that he's sending my brother abroad next year for studies, they've basically let him do whatever he wants till now, he's painfully average in academics, and even though he been learning music since childhood he's lazy and hasn't really accomplished anything. so what's the point in spending that much money on him to send him abroad, why couldn't my father do the same for me, I was the one who worked my ass off to be good at everything thrown my way, an illustrious academic journey means nothing to them, i wanted to go to a foreign language school because I was interested but they denied it, I wanted to go into research fields but they threatened to not fund my education if it wasn't med school and it's not like they'll be paying for that too when I'm going on scholarship. but now my brother is getting princess treatment because he said he wants to study art or whatever and they comply with his wishes, even going as far as sending him outside the country that costs thousands.

At this point, you should disown them. Once you earn the funds and capabilities to move out, go and do what you wish for. You said they wouldn't even fund your education either way whether u do their whims or not so there's no reason to stay. This toxicity isn't something that should pin you down. Their clear favouritism is probably not going to ch......
