Good grief -- what an AWFUL thing to say to your child !!!  I can understand why you're upset.
You stated that your family and you went to therapy -- I assume that included your Dad too. If your Dad is more calm & "friendly" now, I think I'd ask him about it, and find out what he meant. Did he REALLY think he'd be better off? If you think he'd be agreeable to having a "chat" about it, just plain ask him. That's the only way you're going to get closure to this. I have a feeling that he will be ashamed that he said this -- he might even deny it !!!
Yes, I'd be nervous asking my Dad about something like this, but I still think you need to do it. You shouldn't have to 'wonder' from now on if he felt he'd be better off. Find out for sure -- and then you can better deal with it. But I really think that he's going to deny he ever said it. LOL I doubt seriously that he meant it -- he just wasn't "well" at the time.
I wish you the very best -- please let us know what happens. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
