It sounds like you've got a tough decision to make and a lot of thinking to do. Let me suggest that, if you do give him a chance, lay down a framework for your relationship that you both must abide by. In other words, agree to disagree about the sensitive topics that cause friction and don't talk about them. Perhaps you shoud be frank with him that you really would rather never speak to him again, so he understands the gravity of the situation, but, since he's your dad, etc, etc, etc, you'll maintain contact under certain conditions.
