You're right. You do have a lot of good things in your life and it's best to concentrate on those. And the fact that you are a decent worthwhile very nice person.
Karen Kay is right. It just isn't helpful to keep looking for something that someone isn't able to give. I have that problem with my own family. So let your father take out your splinter, accept what they can give, but also accept that you have other places and other people to get the other stuff from. It's not you. Parents are people too, with their own limitations.
