So far, he's seen her twice and done none of the above. I did get a payment from him but that was at least a month ago now. I even had to ask him for more money because she's eating me out of house and home, and growing faster than hair does. I bought her new trousers 2 weeks ago, and now they're half way up her legs even though they started off being too big! I didn't get the money though, even though he said I could have it if he could see her. I've never stopped him from seeing her, but if he's too busy to pick her up, then he's too busy to see her, isn't he?

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, I just wish he'd do right by his daughter. Maybe he's doing it to get back at me, but it doesn't matter to me. I'll get by without his money, but in 16 years, when he decides he wants to know his daughter, she won't want to know him. I'll be there through it all, and know exactly what he is, but I'll still feel sorry for him when she tells him to fuck off.
