What do you have to lose by attempting to work things out? If it doesn't work, you end up back where you are right now. You seem like you really want to work things out but you are very skeptical of your dad's intentions. Things can happen at any time. I thought my dad would be around until he was at least into his 70's and we would have plenty of time to spend together. Instead, he got cancer and died when he was 55, about 5 months before the birth of his first grand child.
What I'm saying is, don't throw away what might be your last chance to make things work. You may regret it later.
