Hi Supermeggs12

A little confused here.........as there was no professional contract there and no professional guidelines you agreed/adhered to you simply weren't his therapist...........I'd say (if you weren't with him at the time) you were a aquaintance or friend caring about and supporting someone/a friend who was struggling...........and if you were with him at the time you were being a supportive girlfriend.
And maybe you used some skills therapists might use but those would be in a very different context from being his actual therapist...............
And actually it could be dangerous on many levels if your boyfriend saw you as his therapist if it came to it..........would be very hard for you to maintain some clear objectivity at times/in certain circumstances, and for him to be as open as he might be with someone "uninvolved"............
But maybe your dad is thinking from the perspective of you might fall in love with him because he's allowing/allowed you to feel so needed.............and that isn't always a good thing when we're talking about love.............
Unless your dad has any other unspoken reasons he doesn't want you to be as involved with him/falling in love with him............
Perhaps talk to your dad a little more about his concerns??
