My dad is psychotic and abusive and has been estranged for the last 4 years, but recently it's come to my attention that he is looking for me and has found where I worked due to one of his friends seeing me there. If or when he comes into my work place, how do I deal with that? Do I have to treat him like any other customer or can I get somebody else to deal with him? Years of emotional and physical trauma have given me anxiety by just the thought if him. I don't think I can be in the same building or speak to or even look at him.

well if you feel all its gonna do is cause you even more grief then he has before then you have a right to not want to see him in your work place its possible he might feel sorry for all the torchure that he has caused but sense we don't know what he is trying to portray you have a right to have him not show up at your work place and i would make sure that you have someone at your work place who you can count on to make sure that doesnt happen but then it might be that he could be so unsettled he might not try it sounds like he may be feeling guilty
Explain the situation to your boss, if your boss is cool with it then duck out to the back room if you see him. You can also get a restraining order against him if you've the mind to do so. You're obviously independent and an adult so familial relationship counts for nothing in this case.
