I'm so sorry for what you've been going through. I actually went through years of jumping around from job to job, because I never felt like I belonged anywhere. I even cried in a couple of interviews, which was so humiliating.
After my divorce, I was so upset and out of it that I was fired from yet another job. I did a lot of temp work after but to no avail. My depression was huge, and luckily I was living with someone who didn't mind supporting me while I gathered myself back up, and I didn't work for about six months. I only started back with part-time work because I actually got tired of being home all the time.
The point is, I think it would do you a world of good to take a bit of sabbatical, especially since you have a supportive father that can help you during this time. Kudos as well on the counselling. Reaching out for help is good. You've been through so much, and it looks like you need time to regroup. Don't feel guilty for being a human being! Let your dad know that you need to time, and you're not sure how long. If your dad is anything like mine, he'll try to boost you without pressure. He sounds like a good dad, like mine.
Good luck. And take your time with things. You're stronger than you think, and just need time to grieve and renew yourself. I hope things work out!
