When chosen family dynamics become unbalanced during crisis

Our chosen family has been together for three years and lately two of us have been going through major life changes that are taking up all the emotional bandwidth while the rest of us feel like we're just supporting and never being supported. We all still love each other but the balance feels completely off and no one wants to be the person who says they need more attention when others are genuinely struggling.
