My daughter is 19 months, her dad decided he wanted nothing to do with her when I was pregnant (ONS) (12year friendship) he started dating someone during my pregnancy which made that decision... Telling me "if I wasn't with her I would take to do with the baby" 
We haven't spoken but I have found out he has split from his GF, and I'm sort of expecting him to contact me.... He gives me maintenance towards our daughter. Call me a fool, but deep down I would likely welcome her meeting her dad, as much as he has angered me. I don't want her not knowing him, would I be a fool to accept him into her life or would I be doing the right thing since she is still rather young?
