Wanting to reconnect with daughter
I had a little girl at the age of 17. Her father and I were engaged to be married but ended up marrying the woman he cheated on me with. Since his nuptials; new wife made it her mission to gain custody of my daughter and succeeded. Completely cutting me out of her life.
I did what I thought was in the best interest of my daughter and relinquished my parental rights to her. (The most difficult thing I've ever done).
Two years ago her father found me on Facebook apologizing for what was done. He divorced the wife and got a new one (who happened to be my best friend at time of custody battle)
So I've been able to speak to her on the phone and via text. I haven't been able to physically visit her since she is in another state.
How do I reconnect with her? We barely talk and it's more texting than anything. I've been trying to take a trip but something always happens to where my trip is canceled and I leave her disappointed... please any advice is welcome :)
