I feel so sad and guilty for my little brother. He's our little baby he's only 22 years old. I am 26 years old if anyone was wondering. I feel guilty that I ate food in front of him today. He can barley eat and when he did eat I asked "is everything ok how do you feel" and he got upset "I can barley eat and when I do eat it hurts." I feel so bad and I don't know what to do. frown
