I Feel I Am Failing My Child As I Am A Single Mum

The 21st May 2008 was the best and worst day of my life.  I  had just been told I was pregnant. I was happy and sad as I was going be a single mom. I kept goin through things in my head, how would I cope?  How would the dad react? I rang the father of my unborn child and  he was happy that I was pregnant,  but as the weeks followed the dad started having doubts he was the father. On the 6th june I had a booking in appointment, I was nervous as I was a single mom and I invited the dad along but he doubted I was even pregnant, so didnt show up. After that appointment dad started asking me to abort the baby. I was so stressed that I started bleeding at 8 weeks. I got sent for early scan, I was worried I was losing my baby. Mum attended hospital with me, everything was well. I went to seek legal advice via solicitors and got a warning letter sent to the dad saying his behavior was upsettin me and the baby, that worked and for rest the pregnancy my babies dad behaved himself. On the 2nd of  January I went into labor at 37 weeks, my little girl was born 8.29 pm, weighin 4 lb 12  and my mom told me I shud inform the father.  I did and he came to the hospital on the  6th of January to see our little girl. We decided to let him be apart  of the babies life, that worked for four monts. He then  again doubted he was the dad so went missing for eight months. At aged one he decided to be a dad again, but four months later he had enough of playing daddy so I took it back to the solicitors where we got a contact center involved.  That was in 2010 which went well up until 2011 wen he decided play hit and miss with our daughter . I kept fighting him to see our little one but realised I was making thngs worse. Final straw come in May this year when the contact center got fed up with his games and cut our place.  I feel I am failing my daughter as she does not  have a dad. The only reasons he has  is because his drink and drugs come first to him. I feel she is missing something that she needs.
