For years I told people that I loved my adopted brother when actually, I didn’t. It was all guilt. I don’t think you “should” love someone when you can’t.

If my mom adopted a young child, I think I would end up loving that child as my brother/sister. Especially if I was still a kid when the adoption happened.
My brother was 3 years older than myself.
I guess no one could force you to bond with your brother, or to love him.
He was mean and when he wasn’t mean, he was a tease. I was smaller and no match.

I think you can love someone in different ways. You can love him as a fellow human being to whom you don’t want anything bad to happen. That shouldn’t be too difficult.
It is difficult when that person has been aggressive toward you.

Yes. Let go of the bitterness though. It only hurts you. Become wise enough to not let it happen again or at least don’t let it bother you again. If he mistreats you, he’s not worth the emotional and mental stress upon yourself. Let it go for your sake and move on. I know it’s hard. But I’ve done that with a real sister who has always mistreated me. I’ve let go of bitterness, and I’ve let go of the hope that it’ll change in the future. I feel much better now. And I don’t want anything bad to happen to her either.
