>>40173596>it would just be for his sake even if he has changedI think this is both probably true but also not something that should count against it. If he feels guilty and wants to fix that, that's a good thing. if he "just" misses his child, well, that's a little more selfish but also not really a bad thing either.
>i feel like i wouldnt benefit from seeing himThis is valid. My sister and our father have a rocky relationship too, nothing as drastic as getting kicked out of the house mind you, but she's also at a point in her life where she felt like she didn't really need to bother with our dad's attempts to connect (partly because they felt disingenious and lazy, but that's another story). He was not invited to her wedding and while they have met at times, he'll probably not see his soon to be born grandkid for a while either. The point in this ramble is, if you feel there's no benefit to it, that's a valid reason. I personally I'm a romantic and think it would be neat to reconnect with a father, however naive that notion might be, so maybe think about doing what my sister does and treat this whole thing very noncommitall? He wants to reconnect? Okay, do the work. Make him take you out to dinner first, no seeing where you live. Set the terms. When, where, how often, etc.
Or don't, obviously. It's up to you.
