This is complicated. I don't think there is one answer for this. I think Daniel is trying to make amends for abandoning his son but he does not love him in the way a father should. Daniel, in the end, is a static character, he doesn't really change. He is unable to approach his son with sincerity. We see near the end of the movie that Daniel finally rebukes his son when he sees his son wants to make his own way.
