I have a different view. I don't think a man who abandons his child and hasn't paid support, didn't help raised the child, deserves to be in the child's life. I mean why should he get all the benefits of having a child now, when the work is done. To the OP, if you feel you must meet him, then by all means do, but be prepared that he may not be what you want him to be, and do try to remember your mom, she raised you while he was off doing whatever...a dad is someone who is there day to day, this guy isn't a dad...
I agree, but it isn't the dad seeking his daughter, it's the other way around. That changes things.
