So the tree could survive?

Yes, possibly, I've seen them survive worse. Fortunately as it's an Oak it will be dead long before it becomes dangerous. I would leave until well into Spring and see if it leafs up. Even if it does leaf up this year it could still die in coming years.

The damage was done by myself so I'm the c##t 🤣

My reasons are I own the land and tree,, the oak has become that big it needs to be taken down, it's causing damage to my garages and surrounding houses and cars. No matter if I cut back the branches it will be come un stable words of 3 tree sergeons....so I went to have it removed but the local council have put an emergency pto on the tree 😒 causing me drastic action this was done before the order was in place.
