Baby dad is not consistent enough

My baby dad is so inconsistent and doesn't do anything a normal dad does, let me add it is long distance we have separated he messes with mg head soo much but besides this he's just not consistent enough to be a good dad to our daughter he's met her 4 times since she's been born and she's 9 months old she was 5 months when he first met her, he doesn't FaceTime her to get her used to his face he doesn't ask about her but he will message me about me but not ask about our daughter but then will act like he's only here for her and wants to see her, the first chance he gets he won't see her, I don't know how much more of this I can deal with as I don't went my daughter being in a broken family and thinking that this behaviour from a dad is acceptable, what do others think I should do because I have so much mum guilt everyday if I allow him and if I don't allow him to be a part of her life,, let me add he walked away from her when I was pregnant and didn't want to know her until I got in contact with CM and then he suddenly wanted a relationship with her I don't know what to do anymore.

My son's Dad was the same. In my opinion you are better to push him out of the picture. There is then zero expectation and eventually you feel comfortable raising a child alone. This is what worked for me & my main priority was my son not being messed around & disappointed.
