When family dynamics don't account for eating disorder recovery

My dad has been making jokes about my weight gain since I started eating disorder recovery, and my siblings laugh along because they don't know what I'm going through. I want to tell them why his comments hurt so much, but I'm scared of becoming the 'fragile' one who ruins family dynamics with my problems.
