Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I met my current gf about 4 years ago when i was homeless and she let me stay with her. We never had any verbal agreement about rent or anything like that. We were just friends but we turned into gf and boyfriend. I overheard her having a conversation with her ex... who used to beat her up in which she was begging him to be with her. I acted like nothing ever happened. A few months later she deserted me at a club to go be with him. I acted like it was ok that they were friends at first but later it started building on me. Then she deserted me on my birthday and went to carry out our plan with some other guy i didnt know. I was pretty upset about it. She was always going to night clubs and wouldnt come home for days on end. Then she told me she had been making out with a guy. I confronted him he swore up and down she was lying. Then she started coming home and sitting in the car for an hour with some guy i didnt know. Then she threw me out with 50 lbs of stuff in the middle of the night. Had three big burly guys come and demand me out. I took my stuff and hiked about 10 miles in the pouring rain and slept under a bridge for a couple days. She sent me a text saying she loved me and she was sorry and wanted me to come back. I was homeless broke and freezing. i came back. i stayed with her for about a year after that and found a job. Now she tells me she cheated on me again. two years after that, and a whole string of other bad stuff shes done to me, i still work but we have a baby now. shes 7 months old and i love her with all my heart. I work part time and i was attending college and spent all my extra time with my daughter. Almost every second of her life ive been with her. Mom continues to run around, i continue to work my part time job in the middle of the night and mom works 40 hours a week. She calls me a deadbeat and a loser and that im abusing her for saying it how it is and trying to make our life better. All my family lives 5 states away so i have no place to get away. I want to go there so bad back to my family and friends but i dont want to live without my daughter thats illinois im in oregon. i can get my job transferred there and should be able to pick up a second pretty easy there. What can i do? were not married but my name is on the birth certificate.
