I'm sorry if this comes off as being harsh. However, he cannot even take care of himself, I'm not understanding why you would allow him to take care of your daughter when she is healthy, much less when she is sick. From the little I know of the situation he seems to be manipulative, has a temper, argues with his sister and is very shaky in his recovery at best...not something a child should be around, behaviors she should emulate, or a positive family atmosphere, or male role model.
This isn't about the need to MAKE him accept his responsibility for his daughter, or make him be who you thought he was, or who you want him to be. This is about a small child and not only her physical well being, but her emotional well being as well. I would be doing whatever I could to find other trusted, responsible family and friends to watch her while you work and insisting on supervised only or very short-term visitations with him. She's a little girl, not a pawn to be used to make a man out of a boy. Again, I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but when it comes to the welfare of a child...
