Dear LIT:
The word that you attribute to your departed father speaks volumes and is heard loudly (even though it is not in italics or bold print).
I don't know why but all the "monsters" I have seen(whether in person or through some media outlet)have a gentle side.
It sometimes is buried so deep that it just keeps sinking and is incapable of resurfacing.
Does part of you want to forgive him or is that a lost cause?
To begin to know a person;
truly, one has to know what has brought about the bitterness in that person.
The answer itself might bring no comfort but in knowing there are possibilities.
I wouldn't dare go against what anyone has posted here because they are all right.
Obviously memories are associated with your definition and if you are up to sharing, we are here (i am more inclined to say "I" when this is about "WE";i'm working on it).
What matters here is that you are comfortable with your decision; which is alright with me (I am far from judgemental).
Take care
God Bless
