my toxic uncle and aunt

I’m requesting all of you to read all of this and be brutally honest about it.
I’m a 20-year-old female living in a joint family. My uncle and aunt have aggressively hated me and my brother our entire lives. They have two children—the eldest daughter is 22 and is currently studying abroad.
My brother and I have always been the brightest kids in the family. My brother is the brightest of all, and they always hated that. But after he got into 7–8 public universities, they had nothing left to say.
Fast forward to me—I was a medical admission candidate. I couldn’t get into a public medical college on my first attempt, so I decided to become a second-time applicant (which turned out to be the worst decision). I still couldn’t get into a public medical college. I’m currently studying at a reputable private medical college.
Now here’s where the real tragedy begins.
My parents are very naive and knew nothing about medical college admissions because I’m going to be the first doctor in our family. They thought my marks were extremely poor and that I wouldn’t even get into a private medical college. Without telling me, they requested my uncle to call higher authorities to help with my admission.
When I found out, I immediately told my uncle not to do it because I knew he, his wife, and his children would taunt me for the rest of my life over it. I knew I would get into my first-choice college anyway. But he still made the call because my parents requested him to.
After that, my uncle, his wife, and their children started taunting both me and my parents. When our families went to perform Hajj together, they made my parents feel as low as possible. My father cried every single day during Hajj but never said anything because he genuinely believed his brother had done him a favor.
I’ve been staying in my medical college hostel for the past two weeks, and I recently found out that students who scored 4 marks less than me also got admitted to this college.
Even after all this, their taunting never stopped.
My uncle has always compared me to his daughter, constantly saying how she’s better than me.
The truth is, she moved to Dhaka for HSC and still missed GPA-5 because she missed A+ in three subjects. While in Dhaka, she got into a relationship with one boy. Later, after joining NSU, she liked another boy and ended her three-year relationship without any real reason to date someone who was two years younger than her. Her ex completely crashed out and created a scene in front of their house, after which my uncle filed a General Diary (GD) against him.
Then she convinced her parents to cancel her admission at NSU after studying there for two years and went abroad so she could live with her current boyfriend.
She ranked 4,111 in the IUT admission test, yet she told everyone she got into IUT even though they admitted only around 1,200 students. She ranked 515 in Jahangirnagar University, where there were only 55 seats for female students, yet she told everyone she got in there too. She also got a low-ranked subject in Dhaka University but told everyone that she got into DU, JU, and IUT and simply didn’t study there because she didn’t get her preferred subject.
That’s exactly what both my uncle and aunt tell everyone.
At the same time, they constantly try to prove to my parents that even after spending two years preparing for medical admissions, I still couldn’t get into a public medical college. They say I’m not even a good student. They tell everyone that I didn’t get into private medical college on my own and that I only got admitted because they made a phone call. They keep saying, “Who knows whether she would have gotten in with those marks? It was only because of our help.” They also say that my parents failed to raise their children properly and that some random boy manipulated me into choosing to study at a private medical college.
My aunt has never been able to tolerate either me or my parents. Even during Hajj, despite being at fault herself, she somehow made my mother apologize to her.
Whenever I think about all these things, I feel such unbearable mental pain that I don’t know how to cope anymore.
Please tell me honestly—what should I do
