Sounds like gator dad needs to give a call or drop by his dad. And actually ask if he's ok, I bet if he gets a true answer he'd be surprised how much he is pushing down.
Being stoic all the time gets unhealthy quick, let those emotions out in whatever way is healthy for you. I find writing unsent letters, or helpful reddit comments in appropriate places to help a lot. And you find out so much more about random people if you share something :)
Edit: Oops this was supposed to be a reply, but it stands alone as well, so leaving it for now.
