Ehhh yes, it would be offensive for me to say otherwise; he was "there", he supported us financially, he wasn't physically or verbally abusive, but I also had and still have basically zero real relationship with him (we haven't spoken for years at this point, for semi-complicated reasons).
Sad truth is, I believe, he went through the motions of raising us and providing for us but in hindsight get the impression he found having kids (and a wife) tedious, stressful and a chore. Both of my parents were pretty absentee from about age 11 onwards. Different reasons; my dad was either at work or watching TV & smoking, my mum (who was honestly a wonderful person though latterly very troubled) was descending into severe clinical depression and died when I was in my late 20's.
Happy stories all round
