I've had a similar awakening about my father. You either grow up and become your parents or grow up in opposition to them.
That one meme where the dad is shielding his kid from whatever the previous generations are saying is kind of true. Like my dad had a lot of horrible things happen to him in his formation that definitely shaped him, and while he's an idiot he did shield me from a lot of those same things. He did the best he could is what I'm saying.
I think the best I can do to honor the guy is actually look at what my dad experienced, learn from that it and leave what didn't work behind.
