Is it bad that I don’t feel much for dad?

No!
My mother abused alcohol through my entire childhood. There were lots of explosive arguments between my parents, lots of me being dragged to drinking locations with her, lots of feeling unsafe in the car with her, with everything revolving around her in the household.
I never felt much for her, and still don't. What I did feel was revulsion if she tried to give me a hug. When she died, I didn't grieve. What I do grieve, at times, is never having had an actual, loving mother.
