Brother's unwarranted hero worship

Okay I dunno if I would call this hero worship but it's something. So my older brother is like seeing our dad is the perfect being who did no wrong, apparently his faults are anyone's fault but his own. He's trying to say our dad wasn't around because our mom was saying bad things about him. First of all so you've now admitted he wasn't around as much but blaming our mom? 

Like yeah she doesn't like him but if as a parent you don't see your kids because the other person is bad mouthing you, not hurting you in any way for real. Only rarely saying that stuff to your face then your kinda mid. Like if I had a kid, would the other parent saying bad stuff about me make me not come over? No, might upset me but I'm not blowing off my kid cause of it. You're there for the kid anyway not the co parent so what does that matter? You're not gonna see the other parent that long anyway. He also said if his baby mama did that he'd do the same which basically to me that's him saying he'd abandon his daughter if his baby mama said bad things about him which is like?? Okay so you'd willingly be a deadbeat for a lame ass reason which is in no way you're daughters fault also that would just make his daughter think everything the baby mama said is true and that you do really suck so all you'd be doing is enforcing that truth. Self fulfilling prophecy. 

And again he's saying mom chose our stepdad over him, which yes she did kick him out but seriously? They would fight every day over some dumb crap and in all my years I've never once gotten into a fight with him because he's like a pretty chill guy. I wasn't there for every fight so I'm sure our stepdad probably was saying some thing too but c'mon, my mom wasn't gonna divorce our stepdad over that. That would just be dumb not to mention that's not a decision you can make lightly. 

Anyways this thing where he sees our dad as perfect is so annoying, he's not the worst and he's not the best, he's okay. I really think my brother built up some perfect version of our dad in our head and he refuses to break that delusion so he uses everyone else as an excuse at to why he wasn't there. Basically he has daddy issues and that's how he deals with it, in my opinion I don't actually know if that's true. 

Dad is so perfect but who's the first person you go to for help? Who's the one helping you right now? It isn't dad. And somehow our dad can admit he wasn't the best but our brother can't admit that.
