My daughter is turning 15 in 3 weeks. She lives with her Dad in another state. He has sole physical and legal custody. I gave it to him during the divorce.
I want to send her something nice for her birthday. However, I just received a message from her saying that she does not need anything from me for her birthday. I have not talked to her for a few weeks. I have been e-mailing her though.
I had gone to stay with her in my ex-husband's house because he moved due to job reasons. I live in another state. I could not stay and so I came back.
I feel that I have failed in my responsibilities as a mother and am an excuse for a human being. However, when I was with her in my ex-husband's house, I could not take care her the way that I wanted.
I feel like punishing myself and am generally down and depressed about my actions. He will not give me legal custody though. HIs mother is taking care of her for the time being.
