How will growing up without a father affect my daughter?

in relationships and just life in general?

She is 5 weeks right now and her deadbeat father hasn't seen her at all. I don't think he ever will and I'm fine with that. He wasn't violent towards me. It's just that I don't see him as someone I would spend my whole life with. So we decided to not be together and because of that, he's not apart of the baby's life.

I get a lot of help from my parents in raising her. My sister and brother love her a lot as well. She is the first grandchild for my parents and first niece for my siblings so she gets lots of love from my family.

But what will I tell her when she's old enough to question why she doesn't have a daddy? Or what if she wants to see him? I don't want to deprive her of him but I really don't want him in my life again.
And to clarify, it was his choice to not want to be in her life.
