How to explain to child

I'm not looking for people who only agree with me. I'm looking for people who can help in a way that I can approach this with my daughter.

My ex-husband had put us out of the house in the middle of the winter so he can move his girlfriend in who was moved in within a month. I had to live with my mother and could not afford to live anywhere else. And no I couldn't go for governmental help as I was one of those people who didn't make enough money but at the same time made too much for help.

I'm saying about how he has treated his daughter during her time. He never wanted another child. He has only kept in touch with her so he can cause problems for me. That is his goal.

It doesn't seem to matter to anyone here that he never does anything with her when he had her or the fact that they refused to give her the medication she needs to control her asthma or that he cuts his visitation in more than half. Or chose a car show over seeing her.

All of those actions do not show a father that really cares about his daughter. He wants nothing to do with her if there is a problem.

My gosh he even said that that he can't have a child with a speech impediment. Aren't we as parents suppose to accept our children no matter what type of impediments or medical problems they may have.

Maybe I'm wrong. I thought you were suppose to accept your children with their problems not abandon them when they have them.

I was just looking for advice on how I might be able to approach this. Not looking for someone to agree with me. I completely understand that not everyone agrees with everything.

None of you have had to see her cry her eyes out when he calls and cancels his visitations. During those times I always lied to her and said he was sick. He really wasn't. The one weekend he forgot he was supposed to have her and made plans to go to a car show and would not change his plans.

I just needed advice on different ways to try and explain this to a 4 year old but obviously I'm not going to get that.
