You were a kid. You shouldn't have to expect that your parents are the bad guys. That isn't on you. It matters what you do with it now that you know. You stood with us at Caulfield. That means something.
In the end he wasn't a good man. There's no reason to put more thought into him and what choices he made. Eventually he made different choices. It doesn't change what we know.
