Anyway I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this shitshow. And that your dad keeps cornering you into dealing with him/them. The ultimatums and emotional blackmail are out of line and if it wasn’t for your mum I’d suggest distancing yourself for some peace

Yea you’re spot on, it is absolutely emotional blackmail / unreasonable ultimatums. There’s no solution to this.

Their hold over you is your vulnerable mum.
They’ve got you going there, tolerating bro, and doing cooking labour in concern for her wellbeing. If she had reliable care from another source you would have more of a choice to back out of the situation.
Your dad could deal with bro and bro could have fun doing the cooking for him
