He came late to take our daughter and he asked why I can't find a babysitter (meaning why do I have to come?

Why? This is a man who sadly hasn't bonded to his daughter, thinks she was a mistake, drives around to avoid interacting with her, and would rather you got a sitter so he didn't have to visit her. What makes you think he's capable of being a decent father?
If he doesn't care about his child why are you fighting to keep him in her life? This isn't a man who was a good father until MLC hit and he went out of his man. This is a man who hasn't ever been the father he should have been.
When and if the time comes, negotiate for as much money upfront as you can get in a divorce, as there is no guarantee he won't default on his child support obligations.
Plan your life for you and your daughter. If he eventually changes he can try to catch up to you. But don't put yourself in a vulnerable position waiting on him. Life won't be easy as a single mom but that's what you are now anyway. You're blessed in that you have a good career to return to - go back now while you still can.
