I'm not married and I'm no expert, but one thing I've heard that I think really relates, is communication is key. I really think divorce should be avoided at all costs. That love once existed and can again I believe.
Maybe facing up to what's going on and being frank but loving with your husband, come up with some sort of conclusion of what your situation is that you agree on. Then maybe you can take that to another couple that you trust, are close with, and are good examples (if that's not available, maybe a counsellor), and talk it out and set some goals.
Your brother is better off growing up with two divorced, happy parents than two married, fighting/abusive parents. Tell your mom that you'll always be a positive male influence in your brothers life and there will be others too. Tell her you don't want to see your brother grow up watching his parents hurt each other, because he will grow up thinking that it's okay to hurt people he loves.
Whether she leaves him or not, it sounds like your parents aren't the best. Try to be there for your brother and steer him in a good direction as he grows up. He's so lucky to have a big brother.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Maybe something can be done about that but it's no good jumping to conclusions this is not exactly one of the best periods in history for work and earning a reasonable living I know university graduates serving at tills for minimum wage hardly end of the rainbow stuff is it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
