Cut a very long story short I will try and make this brief without going around the world, my ex left me while pregnant and didn't want to be a dad and said some nasty stuff and I was in a bad place, cut that short I've now had the baby she is 7 months old he got back in contact with me when she was 3 months old due to me getting in contact with CM and in my thoughts that was the only reason he got in contact as it had taken him 3 months and a CM letter to contact me bare in mind he seen a picture of her on my whatapp and never got in contact after getting in contact regarding CM he then asked could he see her, after a lot of thought and stress I allowed him to see her and was willing to give him a chance after what he had done this was hard for me, he has seen her three times for a few hours with me there he has tried things with me but then he hasn't came through as a dad like any mother would expect from a man I noticed he wasn't asking about her he did for the first few days and then just stopped but would ask questions about me and my life and bothered about what I was up to, he was off work for 9 days last week and didn't once see her although he wanted to make it a regular thing when he was off work, let me add he does live long distance but other than that nothing should get in the way when he's off work, he then went on about the fact he had to pay child maintenance, his attitude towards the fact I took the child maintenance off him was shocking, me a protective mum and being her only parent and bringing her up for 7 months on my own I keep changing my mind about weather I should let him see her or not at first I didn't think he was doing it for the right reasons and now I just haven't got a clue what his intentions are I am not having my daughter getting hurt like what he done to me he left me broken pregnant and was horrible but now I am thinking is this the right decision am I selfish am I being unrealistic am I a bad person am I nasty am I being dramatic or am I doing the right thing I don't know what to do it's such a hard thing for me as his intentions don't show me he wants to be a good dad to my daughter.

Did you post before? Stop contact or volunteering information, see if he bothers going to court. He may be between gf and will drop you both when the next one comes along.
