How can I mend a 10-year estrangement with my father?

It may be good to seek counseling or professional help so that the two of you can work out any issues that were between you in a supportive setting.

Just call him up and tell him you would like to try to mend your relationship. It's not going to happen over night but you can certainly make an effort to try. First off try having a good long phone conversation. You can then take him to lunch or go and visit him.

You will need to go into this relationship slowly. Start by meeting in public places and work on getting to know each other. Go out and get lunch with him starting out maybe once a week. As both of you become more comfortable with one another then increase your time with him and start spending more quality time together.
