I don't want to add anymore anxieties but after you get away from him and are recovering, you give off "social cues" that you are in a vulnerable state and SOME others will sense this and feed off this and add to your problems making you feel even worse to make themselves feel better, much like what your farther is doing to you from the vulnerable state you're from trying to recover from with your eating disorder.
Here's an analogy/metaphor I came up with one day while noticing how people started to treat me poorly while getting over my own demons.
Your eating disorder is a rock and your present day life is steady pond. The rock was thrown into the pond and made a big splash in it. The rock slowly sinks to the bottom.
Even though the rock (your eating disorder)made a short lived splash, (became a part of your life)it has sunk (becoming part of your past)in the pond (your present life)and will still leave ripples (lingering events from the past) for others to see, they may want to throw pebbles in to keep the ripples going, time passes and seasons change and the pond has frozen over (put its guard up), when they throw pebbles in they bounce off the ice and get no reaction from the pond and leave it alone, with even more time the ice will melt (letting your guard down) and the pond will be returned to its calm steady state, but with rocks at the bottom. Put up a sign "Do not throw rocks in the pond"
IIN that I take my father's opinion way too seriously, and I'm a girl.
