I do not see what remedy you have. You could probably sue him for intentional infliction of emotional distress, but when he left you were too old to get child support. You would have to sue him in the state where he now lives.

You have no more rights than if he just said, "Goodbye, I'm leaving you forever," when you were 18. If he dies, you may have a claim to some of his estate, if he has no will or a will that doesn't properly exculude you, but that's it. Once you turn 18 your parents legally owe you nothing.
