Just looking at it from a different angle here but could it be that your parents (or at least your dad) view you as part of the reason for their problems? Sometimes when someone reveals a hurtful truth to someone about a loved one the 2 people affected can carry resentment towards the "whistleblower". This is especially true when people work it out as we generally need somewhere to direct our anger and when we choose not to direct it at the people we have hurt or hurt us then it tends to go somewhere else.
