Scenario

When families focus on one eating disorder while others go unnoticed

Our family has been in therapy for my brother's eating disorder for months, but I feel like my own struggles with food are being ignored because his are more visible and dramatic, and I don't know how to bring this up without seeming selfish.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Family attention and resources are concentrated on the most visible eating disorder presentation while other members' struggles remain in the shadows, creating resentment and continued suffering.
