Co parenting with a psychopath

Can anyone answer and or relate to why a father who has never wanted anything to do with our daughter is now asking for an extended possession order and just last week he said he’s signing his rights away?

Yet he never does the court ordered visitations he has now, and or even texts or asks about her

Sends money or helps out

Is not on the birth certificate and plays no role in our daughters life?

I think he’s doing it to be spiteful because he knows she’s my world and any time away from her would kill me.

I do believe a father she be apart of her life don’t get me wrong.., but this man is a narcissist and it’s just a game to him

What else can I do to hurt me?

I have a bunch of texts from him when I was pregnant for me to get an abortion

And emails of him saying does not want to be a father recently

I am not sure what exactly he gains from all this

I’ve never been so stressed in my life
