Re: Is it wrong? -

I think the decision is really up to you. While it's perfectly fine to say your mum died when you were young — which she did — I would probably consider the ramifications of saying your dad died when you were young as well in case your family members find out what you've been saying.
I feel like it's perfectly fine to say you are not on speaking terms with him, and then quickly move the conversation along. A lot of people do not keep in contact with one or both of their parents for very personal reasons; reasons in which you have no obligation to explain to those who ask.
I think the important thing is if these people start judging you for not being in contact with your dad, know that you are doing the right thing by yourself and that these people were not around for the things that led you to make this decision.
Reminder: you are doing the right thing.
But, ultimately, that decision is up to you... as the others have said.
Feel free to post again if you need to, we're here to listen.
