I (29M) am trying to understand my sister (30F) better and forgive the way she speaks to me sometimes but it’s becoming hard.

This may not be the right place as it’s a question related to seeing if her eating disorder affects the way she acts. However it’s a big community and maybe someone relates.

I am trying to understand why my sister often makes snide remarks towards me. I don’t know if this is something that just happens when you have an eating disorder where it makes you overly irritable and you just take it out on certain people of choice.

But my sister often insults me in certain ways or makes snide remarks. Has anyone ever done or felt the same maybe without meaning to?

I’m just trying to understand if this is just her or a byproduct of the illness where u maybe don’t feel the best in yourself at times so insult and put others down in a ‘jokey’ way. I’m not judging for this. I am just trying to understand if this is the case so I can understand my sister better.

Some examples are like today. My sister is home for a bit and we are talking and she was like the ‘the dogs licked my babies face’ I was like ‘oh no she jumped on my bed this morning’ and she was like ‘yes well we don’t care about that’. It’s just little comments like this she always makes that I don’t understand and make me feel undervalued.

I’m just trying to understand, Thank you 🙂

TLDR: My sister who has anorexia often makes mean snide remarks towards me and I want to know if this is linked to the illness to try and be more forgiving or just how she is.
