OP, thank you for posting this. It's refreshing, because DCUM can sometimes have useful information and helpful advice but increasingly it's just a repository of vents, whines, and nasty replies. (And typically, you've already got two of the latter.) Your post is a good reminder that even when family members aren't absolutely perfect, we still can love them and know that they love us. Other posters with the same family as you have would have turned it all into something about themselves: The oversensitive mom would have been the subject of a long screed about her awfulness, or your brother or in-laws would have been blasted for every little thing they do that's quirky or doesn't put the poster first....But you recognize that people have flaws yet can be loving and can have other good qualities worth focusing on. And you don't try to make your family relationships ALL about your own self and having every single one of your emotional needs met ideally by family members. That's very rare on this forum!
