AIW for not caring about my father’s “feelings”

So, long story short, my father was caught being unfaithful to my mother. I have my issues with both of my parents, but after the infidelity was confirmed, I really didn’t care what he had to say. Solely because I found his conclusions very hypocritical.

I think it would’ve been a different story had he been honest, but I just don’t look at my father the same way I did. I always ALWAYS had a feeling I didn’t like him (but loved him! Because he’s my dad). I lie to you not! He would CONSTANTLY threaten to leave the family, he is always miserable spending time with us etc. It genuinely felt like we were good enough. Never good enough

So now, I respect him, but that’s as far as it goes. No personal conversations, which I never had with him before, but now I definitely feel no obligation to really chop it up with him. I never actually liked him.

Everything came to head today when he called out that he feels like he has to tip toe. I specifically told him he don’t need to do that for my sake. He took everything I said as disrespectful but frankly I could give less a damn lol.

AIW or morally wrong to feel this way? I just never gravitated towards him and this incident just confirmed my feelings
