My daughter is 11 months old and sees her Dad once a week but not without me being there as he isn't capable and I don't trust him. We're supposed to be seeing him tomorrow but on Sunday I snapped and told him to get out of our lives due to him calling me vile names (C*nt) and telling me to fuck off nearly daily for no reason (I'm usually asking him when he can see her next or about her birthday plans, also spoke about his Dad coming to visit from another country and trying to organise that) well today he has text me asking about tomorrow saying sorry which he has done a million times and still continues to speak to me like crap and then just apologises again, its a vicious circle. I told him, we're not coming tomorrow until he can respect me he said ok, this obviously annoyed me so I said looks like never then and now he is saying I am seeking drama, I cut him off because I don't want drama.
Anyways I'm upset and feel guilty about not taking her to see her dad tomorrow because of his lack of respect towards me and am just wondering what you guys would do? These issues have been going on for 7 months, me asking him to be nice and treat me better.

I dont know the full story and its easier said than done but I would cut him off. If he talks to the mother of his child like that I wouldn't put it pass him to switch on his child in the near future

I would just tell him that he does not need to be around you or your children or child with his anger issues. Maybe he needs to go to anger management and pass that course and show you a certificate. He needs to do some soul-searching. And figuring out what he's doing.
If he can treat you like that, he can treat anybody like that.Especially your child and as mother as we protect cut his ass out

If you have a brother or an uncle or a grandfather, that's also a male role model.That's more better in your child's life.I would have that child be with that person.As the male role model and not the stupid father that she has
