The Willis family has gone through a lot during these past months, and their struggles are far from over.<\/p>\n

Ever since the Die Hard star was diagnosed with a condition that affects one\u2019s ability to communicate, the world fell silent. His family provided him with extreme support and has been updating his fans of Bruce\u2019s condition regularly.<\/p>\n

Bruce withdrew from from the spotlight, and later on, he was diagnosed with a more specific condition; frontotemporal dementia.
\n\u201cOur family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce\u2019s original diagnosis,\u201d his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we announced Bruce\u2019s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce\u2019s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As Bruce\u2019s wife, ex-wife, and his daughters were as well affected by his illness, his daughter Tallulah, whom the actor shares with Demi Moore, is experiencing issues with her mental health and they get worse as her father\u2019s health condition worsens.<\/p>\n

Tallulah spoke openly of her anorexia after she was dumped by her fianc\u00e8 Dillon Buss less than three months after her father\u2019s aphasia diagnosis.
\nAs per reports, Bruce is being aware of his daughter\u2019s suffering.<\/p>\n

\u201cBruce could see her wasting away and it only made his own problems worse,\u201d a source said, as reported by Radar.<\/p>\n

\u201cBruce was shattered when he saw Tallulah\u2019s suffering,\u201d the insider went on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt got to the point where the family thought it would be better if they weren\u2019t around each other at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tallulah has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after she checked into an in-patient facility following the breakup.
\nIn the essay she penned for Vogue Magazine, Tallulah explained that her struggles with body dysmorphia began when she started taking medication for ADHD.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt smart for the first time,\u201d Tallulah said of taking her medication, \u201cbut I also started to enjoy the appetite-\u200bsuppressant side effect of the meds. I saw a way to banish the awkward adolescent in favor of a flighty little pixie. And like so many people with eating disorders, my sense of myself went haywire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly. People are like, \u2018Oh wow!\u2019 And then quickly it turns to, \u2018Are you okay?\u2019 My friends and family were terrified, and I dismissed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old added: \u201cBy the spring of 2022, I weighed about 84 lbs. I was always freezing. I was calling mobile IV teams to come to my house, and I couldn\u2019t walk in my Los Angeles neighborhood because I was afraid of not having a place to sit down and catch my breath.\u201d<\/p>\n

We truly hope Tallulah would be able to overcome her health issues.<\/p>\n
