Single mothers only - part 2?

Let me clarify myself. I have never been physically or verbally abusive to the mother of my child. I just took her love for granted. Which I realize can be just a hurtful. I was a complete fool and all I'm looking for is ways to gain her trust back. I have just started into the nursing program and I'm getting back on my feet. I know I'm a work in progress but I'm just looking for advice from a single mother perspective. I'm on a mission to get her back. Not just for me but for my daughter too. She would truly benefit from a whole family. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your comments so far.

Myself as a single mother ...my daughter's father who left me for another woman 2 weeks before our wedding not only hurt me but his 7 year old daughter. Six years later he is still hurting her by not seeing her or calling that often. Me.... I moved on and made myself better then I was ever with him and now I'm engaged to wonderful man and a terrific daughter who looks up to him. My point is maybe it's for the best for the two of you to move you can both make the best of ....BUT BE the BEST father you can be.....that's the important thing.
