It is so hard to take sides, especially when it comes to family, but if you've talked to your brother and he won't change, then I think you have to side with your son and stop contact with your brother. It will probably be the only way to get a message to your brother that you are serious. If he promises to change, don't take your son around until you've been around him yourself and seen a change. Good luck!

There is a healthy way to eat, and there is a healthy way to diet and lose weight. Your doctors and therapist can help you understand this. You need to talk to a therapist and they can help you! Many people who have eating disorders have an underlying reason why they do or do not eat, and the therapist can help you work through those problems and help you find a more effective way to tell with those problems that aren't self destructive. Don't give up. The road will be hard, but it really is the best option.
