Honestly, I wish we knew more about the Father's situation and backstory, to learn when and/or why he became so cold and distant (or if he was always like that). While he did take her love and affection for granted, we know that he also loved or at least cared about her (talking about the present one here, not the past life version), however he seems to have trouble with expressing himself, just as she did before. So hopefully the two of them can bridge the gap that's between them and possibly reconcile. However for that to happen, it'll take a lot more effort on the Father's part to actively seek out his daughter and try to understand her even if it means being rebuffed a number of times. He no longer has the luxury of sitting back waiting on her to make the attempt; the ball's in his court now.
