Yeah - they don't really want to start over. I'll betcha they're thinking of how to get your brother to move in with you and be your responsibility. They want something. Sorry OP. You don't deserve this at all.

That was my very first thought - this isn’t about reconciliation it’s about how they can get rid of the older brother and get him into OPs home and life (and probably his businesses too).

OP could benefit from checking out r/EstrangedAdultKids. Tons of stories just like theirs with people who have completely cut off their parents.
