My family is proud of me, but it feels weird

Today I informed both my grandma and aunt that I looked into resources for my brother. He is in need of therapy due to his trauma of losing our mom at a long age. His behavior is evident of pent up feelings that are not being addressed. They were both happy and explained that, for the family, its great and could help us heal. My grandma was especially happy as she is old and cannot do much as she used to. Though I am happy I am starting the process, I wish it didn't have to be me. I wish it was my dad, whose the parent, but I guess he's been super busy with work

All my life I felt like I had to be the adult, and now I still am :(

thank you. like I feel since everyone is older I shouldn't have to be doing this. But I was tired of my brothers abusive behavior so I did something on my own.

Maybe it sounds cheesy, but give yourself a pat on the back. You did something selfless and in my opinion you shouldn't tarnish your accomplishment with a negative thought!

thank you. I am just upset because my brother has been abusing and attacking me for long, I wish someone stepped in and protected me by doing this :(
