i would give him a chance and make your own decision. either way .. he his your father and you will always wonder if you do not decide on your own. maybe he was not a good father .. and is changing . two sides to every story and tons of circumstances . divorces are so common although painful to ALL parties concerned .
it will probably be a help to you to know him and feel loved / love him for what you are both able to give as you are able to ? it is good that your father might be trying to heal what he has done wrong.
pray about your decisions and in facing your fear of being hurt / rejected and your ability to trust / take risks. god, desires that all people to be reconciled if at all possible. many poeple can and do get help with these matters.

Do what ever is in your heart ...
Let him in if you feel it is right, if not maybe try to let him down gently - he is giving it a go after all.
Just make sure you are happy with your decision, if you decide to give him a chance you can always let go of it later, it may hurt a bit if he stuffs up but at least YOU will know you gave it your all to make it work....
If you don't give him a go you may always be wondering what if?
Good luck, whatever your decision!

I think it depends on how you feel about the situation and how you feel about him. Maybe he thinks it's time to make amends and is putting a foot forward. He obviously THINKS something of you or he wouldn't be trying, you know. But you'll do the right thing =)

You should give your father another chance afterall he is trying to be different. Someday you dad will not be around and then you could be sorry that you did not give him a chance. We all do things that we are sorry for and deserve another chance.

I say give it a try. Everyone makes mistakes and he is your dad whether or not he's been a good one. Just take it easy and slow. It just might turn out great. Good luck.

Let by gones, be by gones. My parents divorced when I was three and didn't see him until I was 17. It was good to know him, he is a great person.
You might want to know your father better.

If he has never done anything wrong toward you. why not, he is your Dad, at least get to know him. we only get one true Mom or Dad. and you will never have another. so what will it hurt to be friendly with him.
