now just because there may be money in there you are now thinking of changing your mind on the idea of talking to your father again.

rather shit tbh.

i would let by gones be by gones in the first place if it were me,lifes too short to mess about with, he is your father after all.

imagine how he is feeling.

imo, make it up to him without accepting the money.

hope you get on ok afterwards too.
