I do. The is “el/la” and a is “un/una”.

In my dad’s language and my second language, it’s “the” and “a”

That's not true for all Portuguese speakers. Most brazilian northeasterners don't use it as you described, as it's unnecessary.

Edit: The way I would say the sentences above:

"Pra meu pai"
"Sou filho de meu pai"
