I know my dad's issues stemmed from his own childhood trauma. It doesn't excuse his behavior, but it helps me to understand it. I feel empathy towards him which is hampering my mental health. How do I deal with it?

I drew boundaries with him. That meant a) telling him his behaviour bothered me b) Created physical distance. c) nurtured my connection with myself. When he continued to do what he was doing, second gear of boundaries came into place that meant loving myself more and making hard choices. So not doing what I did in the past, no more excuses for his bad behaviour. Form boundaries and distance for disrespect helped me conserve my energy.
