I read through your notes on pastebin and I am saddened. Your father took advantage of you and is taking advantage of you still. If it wasn't obvious to you when the issue of equity arose, it should have been glaring when he refused to pay you a reasonable salary after you returned to save the company. Your judgement is clouded by the respect you have for your father. To get a sense of what's really going on, replace every occurrence of 'my father' in your story with a neutral name 'George' for instance, then read your own account again. I get a sense that you are not very an assertive person and that you shy away from confrontation - at least insofar it relates to your father. This is a far from rare trait, but it has worked to your detriment in this case. The way I see it, you have two options: walk away from the company now and never look back, abandoning all the effort of the past few years or get a lawyer and seek legal redress. What you should not do, is continue to work in this company where your contribution is downplayed and effort is poorly rewarded. I'd say it's finally time to make some hard choices.
