He's crying out for help. He DOES need a psychiatrist. He's hurting. He wants to be a good father, he loves this little miracle, but she scares the sh!t out of him and all he can do is run away.
His other big issue right now is unemployment. Men's self-esteem takes a big hit when they're unemployed, and between that, his MLC, his relationship with you, etc., he's feeling like a BIG failure.
Step #1 for him before you let him back into your sphere is counseling. If/when he contacts you about getting back together, tell him to get help. He has demons to slay before he sees his daughter again.
