I think your general idea was right but your conclusion wasn't. I don't think that Rumple is Zelena's father. BUT he always knew that the curse would need the caster to kill the thing she loves the most. So to cast the curse Zelena would've had to kill Rumple which 1. wasn't what he wanted and 2. probably isn't even possible. SO he couldn't use her and therefore abandoned her again.
