[Not the Asshole]
AITAH - Accidently became the favorite older brother
So, first time posting but I do read a couple stories from time to time,
Anyways, I (21 M) have an older brother (we will call ‘D’ - 26 M), and multiple younger siblings - only 2 are important to the story rn but know there are more siblings - the youngest brother (and one I am most close with, we will call ‘H’ - 10 M), and my other brother (we will call ‘J’ - 16 M) are the two important ones.
This whole thing began with me being adopted into a family after my (adoptive) father (we will call ‘B’ - 42 M) had found me on the streets, B already had one adopted son D. D and B didn’t have the best relationship (this is important later), and I ended up having a strained relationship with D as a result.
When I turned 15, I left to find my biological mother who was in another country at the time, I admittedly did run away, and was the victim of a serious attack.
I was found wandering around by T (my now adoptive mother - 38 F) and she took me in alongside her father, and her bio son ‘H’ (my youngest brother). ‘H’ turned out to be the son of ‘T’ and ‘B’ and ‘T’ reviled she recognised me from seeing me with ‘B’ a few times after their break up. T ended up helping me a lot, and ended up adopting me.
Now here is where the problem starts, after I returned to my home city, at 19, with ‘H’ (who was going to live with ‘B’) I opted to live on my own - ‘B’ found out I was in fact alive and we argued over him ‘replacing’ me by adopting ‘J’. We all had a strained relationship for a while, but are now better.
My brother ‘H’ visited often as during my time with ‘T’ he began to view me as a more father figure, however now ‘J’ - my other brother - has also began to visit after we got to know each other better and the two stay over at my apartment often.
The problem isn’t them staying it is that I began telling them (at their request) about my childhood, and it in turn changed their opinions on ‘D’ - the eldest - who seemed perfect in their eyes. While I admit it stings that he only opted to change after I was gone, I still recognise he was in pain at the time and is better now.
I didn’t see any issue in this however ‘D’ is now blowing up my phone saying I made him out to be a monster in the eyes of HIS ‘baby brothers’ which pissed me off as I am also their brother, AND his brother. It still feels like he doesn’t see me as a real sibling, and now like a threat.
So, AITAH for ‘turning my younger siblings against him’?

NTA, your guys' older brother needs to chill out
TA, it wasn't really cool to tell them stuff about D, couldn't you have just left that out?
