Honestly I wish I had an emotionally supportive dad so that I could fully understand this sentiment, but as things are I can only appreciate it from an artistic perspective.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful he’s still around. He’s grown up in a lot of ways, but in many ways he’s still the same and I’ve had to just learn to accept that he’ll never be the father figure I always needed…
A couple weeks before they shot that scene, Mandy had lost his father to cancer. He channeled all that grief into the final scene.
So that’s why it was so emotional…
Well played.
“I want my father back you son of a bitch” 😭

I agree with this. Mine entered hospice without even telling me; I found out he died from his friends.
You just have to work with what you’re given, and do a better job for your own children.
