hey dolly thanks for that...I remember the giving up sugar days too and the hiding behind bad food..its a great way to self destruct. I honestly can't say what it is with my dad...my parents are a bit weird to be honest. they have a unique history (mummy irish catholic converted to judaism...daddy orthodox jew with period of rebellion when he met my mum)...they really do NOT talk about their past. I know nothing of my maternal family and my dad makes out he was always religious etc...I think he tries to be a perfect him with respect to lifestyle habits and me confronting him about the food issue kind of exposes him...and he feels hurt/vulnerable...and uses aggression as a form of self defence...he would call any kind of psychoanalysis about why he eats the stuff as (example of something he has said to me before) 'oooohhh pop psychology'...he is a very intelligent knowledgable man..and very arrogant when it comes to him. he will readily admit in a lovely way that I, for example, know way more anatomy then him - because its a theoretical subject - but God forbid I actually APPLY my knowledge then BOOM...I'm in trouble!
