Maybe your dad wasn't so bad - just worn out from dealing with her. Have you not thought of looking him up?

No, because my mother poisoned me too strongly against him. If I ever met him my first question to him would be "did you ever have sex with your mother?" This is what my mother accused him of, among other things. You really wouldn't believe how she would go on and on about how rotten he is/was, sometimes for hours at a time. Just thinking about it makes me numb. Besides, he truly was a "dead-beat" dad, he never paid any child support at all. He didn't care about me, why should I care about him?
