Be a parent first -- that part will never go away, and it gets better and better as you invest in it. Fight for every minute you can spend with your child! Secondly, talk to neutral 3rd party - a counselor - and do what you have to do to keep it cool between you and the mother of your child. I dislike my ex STRONGLY, but when I think of her solely as the Mother Of My Children, I can get along with her just enough to get things done.
In the long term, it's definitely about you and the kid FIRST. Take care of that and protect it. Trust me, when you get older you will be glad that your kid knows you as a dad who was actually there.
