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.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Recovery requires space for new sensitivity in relationships built on old patterns of harm.
