What to do?
I have a 19 year old daughter. Her mother and I divorced when she was 2 years old. Her mother remarried and so did I. For the last 5 years my daughter asn't talk to me, respond to my e-mails, return my calls or nothing. I have 2 children from my 2nd marriage. I was a weekend dad to my 19 year old. But my wife worked weekends, so I had to take care of the little ones when she came over for the weekends making quality time very limited. When she reached 13 years old, she wanted to hang around with her friends and not come over on my weekends with her. After a while, she stopped coming over. For the past 5 years, I have written her letters, apoligizing about not spending important time and that I take full responsibility for the situation. I am heart broken. I love my daughter so much, yet to her, I do not exist. My 2 little ones miss her so much and ask about her all the time. I communicate with my exwife to see how she is doing, asking her if she could get my daughter to call me. I have had no results. Many people tell me to be patient, when she is older, she will talk to you. I missed all her growing up years. I want to know, is there anything I can do to make this right again. I miss my daughter and love her so much.:(
