... я теперь хоть понимаю, что он [отец] меня любит, как хорошо-то, а то как посмотришь на ХХХ(когда я в институте ещё была), её отец то обнимет, то по головке погладит, то что-нибудь хорошее скажет, какая она красавица, то поцелует, так обидно, больно и завидно было...
В этой фразе я хожу по тонкому льду (как переводчик).

Now...
Now I at least know he loves me - and God, it feels good after all these years in college (when) I wistfully watched XXX father give her a hug every now and then, pat her on the head to encourage her, telling her she's the sweetest thing or give her a fatherly kiss.... How bitter, and hurt and jealous it made me feel!

my suggestion
Now I finally understand that he (the Father) loves me! Feels so good! Otherwise I remember looking at XXX (when I was still in college), how the Father used to stroke her on the head, say nice things to her, like what a beauty she was, he used to kiss her and I'd feel offended, hurt and jealous...

: the translation is right, but I think it's a bit too simplistic

Thanks. It's always the same question: "Is simplicity best or simply the easiest?" :)

: But instead of "Otherwise I remember" I'd try "I can remember..." and then not "offended, hurt and jealous..." but "slighted, hurt and jealous..."

/(+ but) now I do understand, at least, that he loves me, it's so fine, indeed, for it used to so
- when I just had a look at XXX, (I was at the institute then), her Dad/ (Father) now embraced her, now patted on the head, now ssaid something pleasant, that she was so beautiful/ (such a beaty), now kissed; I felt such hurt, pain and envy.
Hope it helps.
Good luck, protolmach!
