Should I keep seeing my emotionally manipulative/abusive father?

So, several years ago, my parents got divorced. I have been going to see my father every other weekend, and I live with my mother the rest of the time. About a month ago I hit my head and got a concussion, as such I have not been seeing my father so I can focus on healing. In the meantime, I have also been seeing a new therapist who has made me more aware that my father was emotionally abusive. I have started to get flashbacks again (I had flashbacks around the time of the divorce).

Today, I got a text from my dad asking to see me this weekend. I am not sure if I want to see him anymore. I think I still love him, but I don’t know. I am dealing with a lot right now. I could really use some advice/thoughts from other people since my therapist is out of town right now. Also, for reference, I am almost 18, so I do have more freedom in seeing him.

Thank you!
