OT: Dad's depressed-- I should be there but don't want to

The short of it is my Dad is battling severe depression and will need another round of ECT treatments soon. His last round was 4 years ago and it helped a lot.
He calls me and wants me there but doesn't ask. Just feels anxious and terrible.
But I don't want to be there for him, he never took an interest in anything that was going on in my life and emotionally neglected me for my entire childhood and adulthood. I helped him through any and everything. Now I'm married and I want to focus on that (we're only 2 months in).
I call and check on him, but I don't want to be "there." I resent his emotional absence and overall lack of concern for me...never mind his lack of love and nurturing for all these years.
Suggestions?
