I think you've put your finger on the problem.....You feel Betrayed & Abandoned = Not nice feelings.
If you think removing the person that caused the above feelings(Your Dad) from your life, will remove the "nasty feelings" associated with him. Then not seing or talking to your dad might work.
However if the above doesnt appear logical then maybe its worth while working towards changing the way you feel.
Aim to seal and put closure on the YUK feelings, rather than your relationship with your Dad.
Good luck
