🤗 I really admire you. What you are doing really takes lots of love, devotion and courage. I know personally it would be better for you to stay far from your pest of a brother. But dear it's obvious you have a very very very good heart that really cares about your dad. So don't leave him. You might suffer from guilty conscious later. Try to talk to both your Father and Brother. Tell your Dad you would like to go stay in a dorm but you care about his comfort too. Don't make him feel bad though. He might think he is causing you to suffer. A new mom will be great but if your brother is not going anywhere do you really want a new mom to suffer his tantrums.
For your brother, try to reason with him. Talk to your dad and try to come up with a way to fix him. Explain that his behaviors is really hurting your dad. Ask him what exactly does he want. He might have some problems he is not sharing. The story might look different from his perspective. For now maid sounds like a great choice.
Whatever you choose don't try to run away. Make sure your dad is well settled. And hopefully your brother comes to the right path soon. Good luck!
