If you were abused more so emotionally then physically (I doubt your dad would put hands on a child, but you never know), then I can definitely see the hesitation.
A child around an emotionally abusive person can set them up for a lifetime of problems. Just look at these mothers who curse or yell at their child in public, I’m sure they turn out to be shinning teens/adults.
It can be sutle but an adult who is constantly telling a child he is doing wrong and in return never act knowledging his good is emotionally abuse.
If you never had a good relationship with your father you need to figure out was it him or you. Just cause he clothed and sheltered you (the bare minimum) doesn’t mean you owe him anything.
Would I give him a chance, yes but like I said if he is abusive, you don’t owe him anything. And if he is abusive you need to educate your son on it so he knows better.
