Emily
Simpson
is
putting
family
first.
After
sharing
that
her
10-year-old
son
Luke
was
diagnosed
with
the
rare
eating
disorder
ARFID—or
Avoidant/Restrictive
Food
Intake
Disorder—The
Real
Housewives
of
Orange
County
star
revealed
how
Luke’s
health
battle
affected
her
and
husband
Shane
Simpson‘s
other
two
kids,
daughter
Annabelle,
12,
and
Luke’s
twin Keller.
“When
we
were
deep
in
it,
it
was
difficult
and
I
probably
didn’t
spend
as
much
time
with
Keller
and
Annabelle
as
we
should
have
I,”
Emily
told
E!
News
in
an
exclusive
interview. “Annabelle,
because
she’s
so
strong
and
she’s
a
very
confident
young
lady,
I
felt
like
she
was
managing
it
very
well.
After,
she
came
to
me
and
said
she
felt
neglected
during
that
time
period.”
The
49-year-old
admitted
that
getting
Luke
the
help
he
needed
with
therapists
and
food
specialists
who
understood
his
food
avoidance
issues
pulled
focus
for
a
while
in
their
household.
“Shane
and
I
were
very
engrossed
in
Luke
and
parenting
him,”
Emily
continued. “It
was
very
overwhelming
for
us.”
