It must have been difficult for you. Are you close to anyone in the family?

I sail the same boat. I miss a fatherly figure. My dad was never there. Abusive person so I crave for a dad to feel safe and protected. Have you tried volunteering at old age home or geriatric care? Sometimes meeting a dad like figure at such centers helps one and those dads are abandoned so they feel happy too!

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. You could talk to him and see if he wants to make things better. After all you're his child. You both need each other. You could talk to another family member and see if they can do anything about it Wonderful suggestion by @lavendermusk. You could try volunteering at an old age home so that they feel loved too. It might help fill in the void for you too
