You should remember how you feel right down in the event that he ever comes knocking at your door again in the future looking to reconcile the relationship. Irrespective of what he feels towards you, his daughter should not be neglected. This is a horrible way to treat a child (she may feel an old lady at 16 but she is still a baby really). Your daughter is old enough however to form her own opinions on her father. The guy sounds like a bit of a user really - you say he kept coming back up until last year and you probably were willing for that to happen with a view to playing happy families. Don't blame yourself - his behaviour is not your fault. I am sure your daughter thinks you are wonderful. You must be by comparison to her other parent!
