I think having someone you love be mad with you hurts more than having someone you don't know or hardly know being mad.
As far as your issues with your Dad that sounds like something you should discuss with your T. You may have very well uncovered something.
He's quite unique in a lot of ways. He asked it more in an exploratory way, not in a nasty way. Taken out of context it may sound like a tough question, but it really wasn't. He's actually been very good with me over the 1 1/2 years he's worked with my daughter. He's helped me deal with a lot of what's happened. This particular question just kind of stuck with me, not so much because of the question, but because of my answer.

Yeah I am going to discuss this with my therapist. I have an appointment with her next week.
