I was in and out about once when I had my first melt down, then went back in during July of my summer of 8th grade, following that, I was in and out during 9th grade until I landed in a long term institute for 3 months following a program in a day treatment center. Things were so rough for me and I basically totalled my 9th grade being in for only 8 weeks of my freshman year and just returning this year during the second week of the second quarter.
Being in the hospital tends to be really detrimental because patients feed off of other patients, creating ideas of self-harm to each other through their marks and actionsl.
If you are not suicidal and are not self-harming /not harming seriously at frequent levels, then you should be ok. Utilizing your therapist seems to me what you handle best. Great for you to love life and not feel suicidal. As for your father, just ignore him or just say "yes" to whatever he says. He will eventually get the vibe to leave you alone.
 Please PM me and keep me updated, I'd love to
help you in as many ways that I can!
Wishing you the best,
