 there must be a reason for your bond with your dad to be non-existant. dads and sons are like peas in a pod (ok not all the time) but most of it, and you miss having him telling you it's going to be ok.
my opinion is talk to your dad, tell him your feeling real cut up since loosing your girlfriend and you feel as though your loosing him too. he won't think any less of you for telling him the truth, he'll probably think more. it's realy good to be able to talk and this is the only way you're going to sort your head out.
good luck

 First, It sounds as if you may need to seek counseling. You need to do that to help you arrange your thoughts, And who you are. Are these relationships getting worse because you're still taking the breakup hard?
The piece of advise I have for you now is that our emotions, and the way we treat others (the asshole affect) is a choice. We choose how we deal with issues in our life. We can be positive and find ways to allow our obstacles to empower positive changes in our lives, or we can take them with the "why is this happening" attitude and allow them to negatively influence our lives. Which way we go is a decision we make. I'm not saying it's always the easiest way to go when we're positive facing obstacles, but it does really make us stronger when we do.
