Growing up my mom has always been strict with me and lax on the rules with my younger brother. This has lead to him not respecting me for a long time, and now he doesn't respect her either. 

I want to have a good relationship with him, but he is just such a jerk that it is hard being around him sometimes. I hate visiting home from University because I hate how he talks to my mom. 

I know its her fault for never giving him any responsibilities and rarely punishing him, but now I am resenting her for letting him turn out that way. I'm afraid that if I talk to her about it she may end up taking it out on me. What should I do?
