Ye, I can relate to these things about childhood. A child should feel safe and protected in a presence of a parent. When I was a child I was scared of my own father, because he was drunk and abusive to my mother very often. The good thing was, he rarely was visiting the home, because he was working very far from the home. Of course he betrayed my mother not once. He has kids with other women.
Regarding to your issue, dont listen what other ppl say, because they dont know the whole story.
If you consider your father as a toxic person you should probably cut off a contact. But if you think he has some good qualities, intentions, but being moody sometimes maybe you can give him another chance.
Also try to think of what you can lack because of his bad partenting skills, and try to give it for yourself. For example support, love etc. I know it might sounds a bit weird, but try to be the best parent for yourself.
