Introduction: ‘Well’ siblings of individuals with anorexia experience emotional distress and familial discord from their exposure to the illness. With their needs and experiences frequently misunderstood by families, clinicians, and researchers alike, siblings are often considered ‘the forgotten kin’. This retrospective study explored how adult siblings experience their own identity and positioning within the family because of anorexia’s pervasiveness during their childhood and adolescent years. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with a community sample of female-identifying adults (n = 5) whose siblings have been recovered from anorexia for a minimum of one year. Informed by a narrative framework, the data were assessed using the interpretive description (ID) strategy and analyzed with the constant comparison method. Results: Two main themes and seven sub-themes emerged. Participants reported experiencing conflict and distress that was traumatic in nature. They described being treated as a ‘well’ sibling while their sisters were treated as distinctly ‘unwell’ – a dichotomy
