And people say her mother is decent, she really isn't.

Im sure you are a great Dad...your daughter would not be texting that message to you otherwise.
Your ex will look for any excuse it seems for you not to see her so dont give her any... Tbf if you have been separated for more than 4 years its a bit unfair that your ex would not expect you to have a girlfriend with you at some stage...No doubt she has maybe been on dates
But you do need to sort out the drinking especially as its getting you in trouble because thats the sort of thing that will stop you from seeing your daughter..
