I've been no contact for almost the same amount of time, so I'll tell you how I'd feel in the same boat.
My dad had no backbone to protect me while I was in his house, and he didn't bother trying to stay in my life after I left. He may not have done the abuse, but he definitely allowed it to happen due to inaction. I am always going to miss the parents I thought I had, but it won't add anything positive to my life to have contact again.
He is a stranger in a familiar coat
