If you went back in time and killed your father, then events would continue from that point without your father's presence, so you would not be born.
To say "Ah, but if I wasn't born, how could I have gone back in time to kill my father?" is to rely on the 'strip of paper' metaphor of time-travel. Its really not a paradox at all. Your father was killed by a version of you from the future, and so in that universe, a contemporary you was never born, and the world would progress without you. Like in B2TF when his family start fading from the photograph.
