I am so sorry for your loss and for what you are going through now. Do you have anybody that you can talk to about this? A school counselor may be helpful or may be you can ask your family if you could see a therapist. It sounds like you have a lot feelings that you need to process.
Your dad would not want you to feel bad about this, as you said he wanted you to know how much he cared but you wasn't ready for that and that's okay.

The grieving process is a hard one but make sure that you allow yourself to experience that even if your family doesn't seem to be feeling it remember grieving is different for everybody.

I've been offered counseling numerous times for my anxiety and panic problems, but I refuse to go, since my inspiration comes from my 'fear', to put it simply. I don't think I could go to counseling incase they tried to help with my anxiety and panic, two parts of my life I can actually deal with.
I understand what you're saying about everyone being affected in different ways, and grieving in their own way, but my family are literally pretending nothing has happened and going on with life. It's only been a few weeks, should they have really moved on this quickly? I feel I'm the only one who actually cares he's gone.
Thankyou for your reply. It has made me think alot and I don't feel as terrible as I did before, although I still don't feel too great about the whole situation, obviously.
