How do I stop being bitter and incomplete just because my daddy

Best thing to do is to think about literally anything else

Okay. And that fixed you? You've fully recovered from that?

It'll always be sad to think about but dwelling on the past is not the way to have a happy future. Today I'd say I'm near normal if not completely normal

Okay.

I've just found it better to not take advice from people who are not where I want to be.

I would say probably counseling.
But take it from a 50 yr old who's still making the same mistakes for 30yrs, take care of it or it will cost you any chance of long term happiness.

I don't think I can get adequate councelling. The psychiatrist I am seeing because my mental stability has been required to be supervised for the time being for reasons unrelated to this issue is an idiot, and he is the best they have for cases like mine. I would have to forcibly feed my problems to him with a spoon, like trying to give an anthelmintic to a fighting cat, and he would still insist I do not have psychiatric problems.

I hate feeling like an old hypochondriac hag in that room so I guess I'm the sanest man who has ever been sent to a mental ward by an ambulance twice.

I have literally no other reason to bump this than because I'm childish and want attention.

I guess people who didn't exactly have a horrible childhood but who weren't bathed with affection do end up kind of stunted, mentally. Like when a kid is about to do some uninteresting kid stuff that they think is awesome, yelling "daddy, look!" and freeze in wait for the aforementioned to pay attention, but it never happens.

So you kinda freeze there, for 6 or 14 or 50 years, waiting for somebody to look, but nobody ever does, because the shit that kids do is uninteresting and you ought to know that by now.
