Good afternoon everyone.
In the past year I have found out I`m a dad, at first I didnt play much part as I, and my ex partner didnt know who the dad was. Now, over time, ive contributed quite a lot of time to make up for the time lost. I visit my ex, who lives a good 1 h 55 min by drive, or an hour an 20 minutes by train.
I go down to spend time with my daughter, and the mother also allows me to stay over on her couch so I am getting time with my daughter.
Now, within the year, me and my ex have had constant arguments, but then come to good terms which proved to be fine, until her mum has had input which stopped me from seeing my daughter, but then my ex decided for herself again that I can see my daughter.
Now, my ex said she wanted me to have more time with my daughter, which I have tried to do as much as I can with limited funds due to being out of work due to a mental illness, and now recently because of her problems up her end, I am now getting the backlash, and she has asked that she needs space, so I have gave her a week, and im going to contact her tonight. But, I just cant get my head around it all, what do I do because on the one hand Im allowed to see my daughter, and on the other I get told my ex needs space which ultimately means seeing my daughter is less of an opportunity. Im just lost and I don`t know where to turn, can anyone help?
I mean we havent got to the stage of getting my name on the birth certificate, as I havent had the money and its just something we havent done yet. I just wish I knew what to do.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you
