Toxic relationshop with father

I have a very strained relationship with my parents, especially my father. As I’ve gotten older I find it easier to just not have him in my life because he is very negative and makes me feel like a bad person all the time when I know I’m not. We haven’t talked in a year and I do have a one year old daughter whom he has not had contact with since she was about 3 months old. He stopped communicating with me because he got mad at me over something. I have no ill will towards him and I get sad that he is not apart of my life or my daughters. My uncle just passed and kind of brought to light how short life is... do i try to make amends with him knowing he will never change and likely will continue to cause drama in my life? Or just not have him involved for he sake of all of us. I’m torn.
