I'm the same way except it's my mother and she's alive. I won't say the worst things she's done to me because it would make me feel really bad about myself. It's understandable, especially since your father has passed away and we're supposed to treat our parents and people who have passed with respect. But in my defense I don't think it's essential that my therapist knows absolutely everything, it's enough for me that she knows I had a difficult childhood.
