šŸ“ AITA for getting mad at my parents after they ā€œdidn’t take sidesā€ in a fight between me and my brother?

For the sake of mine and my family’s privacy I won’t reveal anyone’s age nor name, just know me(female) and my brother are both minors.

Earlier today I came into his room to annoy him (typical sibling stuff, we do this all the time- nothing out of the ordinary) when all of a sudden he punched me. I have pretty strong legs so I kicked him (yk as revenge but we were both laughing at this moment)

Then it got a bit heated. As I’m a bit older than him I obviously didn’t go in full force, but he is about the same height as me, weights more than me and unfortunately didn’t go easy on me.

He started kicking me with full force and to dodge said hits I use my knees and forearms(which hurt like hell as I’m typing lmao). But then he started kicking from the side (my hips) and that wasn’t easy to avoid. I tried backing away but his room is pretty cluttered, so there wasn’t much space for that.

I’m pretty flexible so the only damage I could’ve done was kick him in the face or the stomach (which I obviously didn’t, I’m not insane) At one point I was getting scared and start screaming and backed away, sitting down on his couch and telling him to stop. I don’t remember what I was yelling, I just remember my brother kicking my left hip, he just kept kicking so hard I almost cried.

He went back to his desk after and before he sat down I kicked him in the ass because I was pissed off. He got up and since the distance between us was quite short it was hard to do anything without bumping into his bed or TV. I tried blocking his kick with my knee by kicking it up and that’s where the bad part came.

He pushed me, like REALLY fucking hard.

My fall was stopped by the edge of his bed which was right behind me, but he pushed me in the wrong direction so I kinda just flew over it and ended up crashing into his tv in front of the bed. I looked around in confusion, I wasn’t that mad honestly, I just stared at him for a while thinking he’d apologize but no, oh no no no no! He starts yelling at ME for knocking it over. My dad opened the door and saw me lying on the floor with the tv knocked down.

His first concern? If the tv was broken. (Love my dad yayyy) I got up and went to check for injuries as I didn’t want to deal with my mom’s screaming.

A while later they called me downstairs and yelled at me. The tv was completely fine, idk what happened to it and don’t care either but I didn’t fall ON IT - just knocked it over! BECAUSE HE PUSHED ME!

My mom later said that her and my dad don’t want to get involved in this (they 100% would if my brother got hurt) and even after I showed my mom the bruises she didn’t care, just told me to go study. I told her I can’t because I can’t sit, it hurts too much (spoiler: she didn’t give a flying fuck.)

I think I’m an asshole in this too cuz I did come into his room, but I’d like to know what y’all think. I also just wanted to vent because I’m not doing well mentally at all at this point and really need to share this with someone.

Edit: guys I was just trying to raise my karma with a random story STOP COMMENTING ON THIS, I honestly didnt think anyone would reply😭
