Wouldn't the word be "DINGO"?
Next, in therapy, our old wounds are called "unresolved" issues. What may be unresolved for you is why your father is the way he is. Or accepting that he is the way he is and not the way you wish he were.
I've recommended a couple of books for you, but I really, really, really want you to get this very special book which may just help you immediately. It's called "The Journey from Abandonment to Healing" by Susan Anderson. This book has helped so many of us attend to our unresolved issues, regardless of their origin. There are plenty of exercises and guided assignments -- it's really great.
Also, please realize that what you're starting here is a path to personal growth. It's not a straight line, it's not done overnight, it's not always easy. But when you know who you are and why you're here, you will be a better wife, a better partner, a better mother, a better person. Because you will be more at ease with yourself and your life.
I am a little jealous of all the wonderful things which lay in front of you!
