You shouldn't have to make excuses for people's behavior. This is what your mother did with your brother.
If you cannot discuss things rationally with your Mom, I would say you may want to seek some counselling, with or without her. This sounds like pretty damaging stuff. You need someone to help you see through all of this, or the drama will eat you alive.
You may find that just for your sanity you may need to sever ties with them. Or you can work with them on this. Or you can let them take you along on this rollercoaster ride. Some people thrive on this kind of emotional upheaval.
Sorry to sound blunt...
