Krissy, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been hurt so badly. A father (no matter what he has done) has a special place in every girl's heart and so this kind of thing is bound to leave you in agony.
First grieve. As hard as it is to do, you need to let yourself work through all the feelings of hurt, grief and anger. Then let it go. He doesn't deserve a place in your life right now, Krissy. Maybe he will earn your respect again one day in the future, but he doesn't deserve you right now.
Don't do it alone. Enlist the help of those friends and/or family members who are being supportive of you. This is a hard thing to do alone and you will need a couple fo shoulders to cry on.
Put yourself first this time. You don't deserve to have your feelings manipulated like this. If you continue to let him affect you like this, you will turn all your anger inwards and will get even more depressed. Do this for yourself.
You have all my sympathy. I am blessed with a wonderful father but understand how hurt you must feel.
Life will go on and you will be OK.
