Only reason I'm here

My daughter is the only reason I haven't swallowed enough pills to never wake up again. I can't bear the thought of what my narcissistic ex-wife would do to her as a sole parent, so I trudge through day after day of pain and depression to ensure my kid has a semi-normal side instead of being completely messed up by my ex.

I have bad days too. It's those days that allow me to relate. But there are good days too. Try to find more of those. Find a hobby that you AND your kid can do. Together. Take joy in your child's development.
Accept your ex-wife's flaws and get over them. Does you no good to dwell on a past mistake. You may not agree with her on anything, but don't have your disagreements and negative emotions in front of the kid.
You're doing the right thing man. Suicide is selfish. You can be stronger than that. And as your child gets older, the ex's influence and involvement with you will recede.
It will pay off

In the meantime, try to be a bit good to yourself and imagine having fun doing something that you enjoy! And do that thing
If you had...

The pain you feel is nothing compared to the feeling your daughter would suffer with her whole life, wondering why her father left her. Stay alive!
