They never address why Sheldon portrayed his dad as a dysfunctional alcoholic loser in BBT, even though we all saw that he was a great dad and a good provider who put his family first
The show was narrated from Sheldon's perspective as a child. BBT demonstrated his extended adolescence, same perspective as a child.
Viewers have the benefit of objectivity in YS.
This was addressed in the last few scenes when Sheldon said he viewed his dad as "loser" but in reality, since becoming a father, realized he was a man doing the best he could.
It's not perfect but I think that was the retcon intention.

The show has always been speculated as having been Sheldon writing his memoirs (hence the Jim Parsons VO) and finally confirmed in the last episode.
What I was hoping for was a line or two from Parsons' character explaining to the viewer or to Amy that his regrets that he had about his lack of appreciation for his father made it easier for him to mischaracterize him to his friends that he met later in life. He understood that George was a great dad, and even if he wanted to believe otherwise, his eidetic memory wouldn't let him.
