Time went by and as he puts it "faught" to see our daughter. I say as he puts it because he made no effort plus moved out of state. Anyways. He has visitation now every Monday. At first it seemed like he was going to be a good father. Me and him would text and talk all the time. I told him everything about our daughter. We stood talking to eachother and to be honest... feelings started to come back. But now that I put that to a stop. He doesn't ask about her, doesn't tell her good night. Nothing. I try to tell him about her but I feel as if I'm putting all the effort in getting him to ask about her. I feel like he can go threw an entire day without hearing about her. My daugter in 2 and 1/2. If your a parent you would know at that age there's always something new going on in there life. I'm 24 I'm not like most young moms. I'm very dedicated to my daughter. And kinda old school. Her father claims to be old school as well. Why the lack of effort now that we won't proceed with our feelings?

I would say that sadly, he never really cared for his daughter. I'd say that he was trying his luck with you more than anything. All you can do for your daughter is make sure that he has access on that Monday, and comply with those court rulings. Hopefully, he'll make something of it over time. If not, at the very least you'll know you did your best for your daughter. In the meantime, keep going as a single mother. It's obvious that you're a great mother. Do your best for her, and hopefully her father will wake up and start being a father.
