Has my fast been invalidated after arguing with my father and swearing, "By the Lord of Glory, I shall not eat"? And what are the implications for me regarding this oath?

Fasting is not invalidated merely by quarreling with one's father.
As for swearing to abstain from eating, if you intended to abstain from eating absolutely, then you will violate your oath by eating anything after your vow, and an expiation for breaking an oath will be incumbent upon you. If you intended to abstain from eating for a specific period, then you will not violate your oath by eating after that time. The deciding factor is the intention of the one who swore the oath.
