I always feel as though I'm the one holding both sides of my family together and try to always be the one to keep the peace between my mom and dad who are divorced. I do this for my siblings and it feels like the problems that they have always fall on me to be the middle man. this has even caused my relationship to be ruined because I couldn't take it anymore and didn't want to drag my significant other into my parents bs. but my now ex is friends with my dad and stepmother and won't talk to me anymore because they hate my mom who I try and defend until she causes more issues for me. I'm just here heartbroken and tired of trying to live through this.

It is not your job to parent your parents. This sounds like an exceptional place to put some boundaries up.
Your mom and dad are divorced...shouldn't that be the end of the problems? You don't need to care too much about how much hate they have for each other. All you have to worry about is having a good relationship with them separately as your parents. When they are old they will miss the other and apologize for all of the drama and spite they caused the other. Just educate your siblings that they shouldn't believe everything they hear because they're just spreading lies about the other to make your life easier. You don't have to try to protect everyone as a shield especially if they're as childish as you are making them sound.
