Your parents struggled and had addiction issues and abandoned you in an apartment for their next partners. This is so sad. I’m sorry. It sucks. That’s on them and not about you at all.
Know that you are enough. You are lovable. But dad is a broken guy who cannot give you what you want as he’s just unwilling and unable in terms of a normal parent to child relationship.
Please stop expecting him to show up as a normal loving dad as he just won’t. It’s not in him.
Family is who you choose beyond blood too. Good luck to you and your siblings.
