I'm confused about your " ingrained expectations." If your father died, how could you have any hopes for any kind of a changed relationship with him.
It sounds like you had a troubled relationship with your father. So he died, and then you worked out a new kind of relationship with him? That's a little strange sounding. But you realized "it is never going to change." You seem to be stringing words together, without figuring out what you are actually trying to say.
I'm glad you seem to feel you got to a better place.
