Unfortunately, Eddie is a victim of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy with his own mother as the abuser. This means Mrs. Kaspbrak has been faking all of Eddie's illnesses in order to have unlimited control over him.
It (2017): Eddie's mother was smothering him because she was resisting It's influence. Eddie's mother is (rightly) seen as overprotective and even engages in some serious Munchausen syndrome by proxy ("they're GAZEBOS!").
When she, in 1980 at the age of 64, died of a heart attack, she weighed 406 pounds (184 kg) at the time of her death. Her lasting psychological impact on her only son is deep; the woman Eddie eventually marries, Myra, is a mirror image of his mother in both body and mind.
She's only onscreen for a minute, but IT Chapter Two reveals that Eddie Kaspbarak went on to marry a woman exactly like his mother, literally. Of the Losers' Club members, Eddie is often one of the least interested in embarking on dangerous adventures.
Eddie's father dies from pneumonia, which he caught while saving his friend Mickey Shea during an ocean storm.

He quit driving taxis and took the job he'd been training for his whole life—working maintenance at Ruby Pier. Eddie was angry. He cursed his father for dying and trapping him in this life he'd always wanted to escape.
She is the daughter of Pennywise and was brought up by him and incorporated into all of his evil ideas. She's a part of the whole thing.
In the adaptation of It Chapter Two, Richie is portrayed as being secretly in love with Eddie Kaspbrak until the latter's death, and Eddie remained unaware of these feelings.

After the Losers' Club defeat Pennywise, they get lost in Derry's sewer system. After coming to the realisation that they can't escape without being unified, Beverly — the single female member — decides she needs to have sex with the six boys.
Some spoilers for It (movie, 2017) are below.
His phobia seems to stem from a mental illness his mother suffers from known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which manifests in her relentless “worrying” about his health.
IT (2017 film)
Unlike the novel or miniseries, Alvin is sexually abusive towards his daughter, Beverly. After she came home from the pharmacy, her father shows up in front of her and passionately sniffs her hair. This cause Beverly to have an emotional breakdown and cuts off her ponytail.
We meet her being bullied in the school bathroom. Her father assaults her in the bathroom at her house, and it's there that she cuts her hair to try to ward off his sexual attentions.
After triggering his medicine down its throat a few times, It bites Eddie's arm off. With his few remaining seconds, he tells Richie to stop calling him Eds, before dying. The Losers later leave Eddie's body in the sewers, despite Richie's protests saying they should take his body back with them.
There could even be a new novel set in the IT universe, although Stephen King has stated that he has no intentions of bringing Pennywise back.
Throughout It: Chapter Two, it becomes clear that Richie is a closeted gay man in love with his childhood best friend, Eddie (James Ransone plays the adult version). Mostly this revelation becomes clear through two scenes.
In the film, it is more than hinted that Richie, played as an adult by Bill Hader and as a youth by Finn Wolfhard, has a “secret” (something Pennywise threatens him with): that he has an attraction to Eddie Kaspbrak, played as an adult by James Ransone and as a youth by Jack Dylan Grazer.
However, It then breaks out and it's revealed that Mike lied: The Native Americans who first attempted to trap It were all slaughtered by It because they didn't truly believe the ritual would work.
In the novel, It's origins are nebulous. He took the form of a clown most frequently, Mr. Bob Gray or Pennywise, but his true form is an ancient eldritch entity from another universe who landed in the town that would become Derry by way of an asteroid and first awoke in 1715.
The kids at the heart of the It call themselves the Losers' Club, but even among the seven of them, there have to be winners and, well, losers.
Although Mickey was a drunk and touching Eddie's mother, Eddie's father knew he had to save his friend and to preserve the loyalty in their friendship.
Ruby tells Eddie that he should learn from this story that holding onto anger is poisonous. You may think anger will act as a weapon toward others, but it only hurts you.
After violently grabbing his crying wife and jerking her around, Eddie's father runs after Mickey and into the storm. He finds Mickey at the ocean, and the two men fall into the tide fighting. The water catches Mickey, and Eddie's father decides to rescue him. He pulls Mickey to safety.
