Worried about my sibling

so ill just cut right to the chase, (and its very long.) I’m 16 and the past couple years my family has been struggling with financial issues (since 2024) causing my us to lose our house car etc. i had to split from my mom, i went to a different city with my auntie, which was fine until she caught me with a weed pen, resulting her leaving my 14 year old self stranded in a McDonalds with everything I own in a foreign city.

I had taken a charger of hers on accident which caused her to lash out and attempt to fight me, tl;dr i got detained by the police and sent to a mental health facility for a day, which landed me at my grandmothers until a few days after my birthday in which we had a fight, and she kicked me out too. now im back with my mom, and we have a temporary house which by the end of this summer we will be kicked out and moved to the projects—so heres where my question comes into play, if I kill myself will CPS take my brother?

Sorry total curveball but why this question matters is because my mom just got him back this recent winter, and things have been okay, fights here and there but i genuinely cannot handle this anymore, and i dont wanna be selfish and jeopardize his situation just because of my own desire. his aunt currently has us on child support and my mom got him back legally which is why I‘m anxious if they take him, because if she loses him and if I die then she’ll most certainly spiral and I wouldnt want my death to be the possible cause of hers. sorry this was a dump, and very incoherrant.
