  • My Dad was just the same. He also wanted everything his own way, and I always thought that he never accepted that I was an adult, entitled to my own opinions etc. He always forced me to eat the fat on meat, as a child, and I find it repulsive in texture and taste. I vowed after I left home, never to eat the fat on meat again, and modern thinking that it is healthier to cut off visible fat, made this socially acceptable, to everyone except my Dad and others of his generation.

    I don't think that diagnosis is likely. The gp will probably think there is no gain in spending part of their budget in getting a diagnosis for someone who probably needs no particular help.
