How to have relationship with Dad if he’s not with your mom?

r/

Hi. I’m a young teen and my dad just came back into my life after years. Idk how to like have a relationship with him. I don’t know how he’s going to be a dad and in my life if he’s not with my mom. I’m afraid of being too quick or overbearing. He said he’s always there for me and i can talk to him whenever but idk when. Everyday? One a week? When something happens? What’s appropriate sharing with him? Is it too soon to ask to meet? How can he be in my life if he’s not physically there. If anyone can give advice it’d be appreciated
