So, just recently after taking a big step in my relationship with my partner and finally living the greatest time of my life ever, I found out today that my Dad died like two weeks ago. I don't ever like talking about my Dad, like ever. Believe me, everyone who has ever met me can attest to that. I think the last time I saw or heard from him was when I was 13, or maybe 16. I just remember it was one of those milestones. The guy was practically a stranger to me and even when he wasn't, he was terrible. I'm not quite sure how I feel right now. It's just blank and I can't tell if I just don't care or if it's the calm before the storm.

Aah. Family. it can be such a nice thing, and also the worst thing on earth. In my life i've had my share of both.
My mother was the kindest person of all, and she died when i was 11. It's kind of the opposite situation of yours, with my dad being the "evil" part. Although he's not at all deadbeat, he's not exactly the kind of father i'd wish onto anyone.
Regardless, if you feel the need to unload or rant onto someone, feel free to PM me. I'll listen, even if you just want to swear about the mosquito that has been flying around in the room for a week and won't die.

Move on and think of the better things that you can think about your dad. There's nothing else you can do.
My biological father was never really "there for me." He was in good terms with my mom, but we never really shared a bonding moment and I never remember any quality time I have spent with him. I know he wanted to tell me something when I was there on his deathbed, but he was too far gone to be able to say it.
All I know is that, he tried to be a better father with his third wife (my mom was the second) and it shows with my younger half-siblings. And to me, that counts for something.
You don't have to care. The least you can do is learn from it and move on. You're doing no favours to yourself by dwelling on it.
