<human>: Bit of back story:

My parents split when I was 8 for exactly one year. Up until that point, I was the apple of his eye. We didn't live anywhere near him for that year. I got fat because I became an emotional eater. I weighed about 100 lbs by the time I was 9-10. He stopped doing anything with me (when we once used to take weekly hikes in the mountains). He constantly said really awful things (which he now denies) like, "Look at your feet, can you see your feet? It's time to lose weight." "If you keep eating like this, you're going to look like your aunt." etc.

By the time I was 12, I had tried to sit down and ask to have a relationship with him. The first time I tried asking him to be my dad again, he asked, "Can this wait until after Jeopardy?" The second time, he told me that I needed to "Forgive and forget" that my parents split for a year. 

We never had a relationship. I guess I kind of gave up because it broke my heart too much. We have gone to a museum once and a fun park once in the past 13 years for him and me time. I am now 26, expecting my first child, and still no relationship with him. It breaks my heart...and I am starting to fear that he will die before he ever comes to me "ready" to nurture a father-daughter relationship.

I am the oldest daughter, my parents had me about half a decade after being married.

My younger sister has always been skinny, and athletic. He and her have a much closer relationship that I don't feel my sister appreciates, rather takes advantage of.

My question, reddit (especially you dads out there) HOW DO I GET HIM TO WANT TO HAVE A FATHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP WITH ME?

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: my dad stopped being "my dad" when I was 8. 18 years later, expecting my first baby, I want that relationship back and don't know where to begin. Help?
