Oh I will never talk about anyone's personal father without knowing all details (trust me your dad was likely a thousand times better guy as mine anyway), that is up to you to decide in the end. Besides him not being there at some important moments, does not mean he was not there at those moments when you really did need his support emotionally and even if he was not for reasons (like quite common that Mother is supposed to take care of the support side and father brings in the money) that still does not mean he did not love you and you loved him back.My Father was a steel plant worker, and always worked two or three jobs at a time to provide for us kids. Yeah he wasn't always there, sometimes not even for important moments, but I know he tried to be. He didn't hover over us like a helicopter, or smooth our path to the point that we couldn't even get past a pebble without tripping. He taught us how to solve are our own problems. Don't ever tell me that my Father was a bad Father.
Thing is though raising kids entails more as just keeping them clothed and fed and also has to do with guiding and protecting them emotionally and yeah that also means when they get older to take a step back and let them make own mistakes while you watch from further away and support them to make sure they survive those mistakes without hurting themselves too much.
Well with how dysfunctional this situation turned out in game, you can ask some serious questions though either parent did that.
