My brother lives about 1 hour from my daughter. She is 15 and her dad has sole physical and legal custody of her. Her Dad moved due to job reasons and her grandmother is helping to take care of her.
My daughter's birthday was yesterday. My brother and his family called to wish her a happy birthday and she spoke with them for about 2 hours.
Now my brother called my mom and told her what they discussed during the phone conversation. I know that if I ask my brother anything he will say that its between the two of you. My brother does not want to get involved in my business, but yet he tells my mom what my daughter said.
My daughter is upset with me because I went to stay with her and left in the middle of the day without letting her know. I live in another state. I know I was wrong and tell myself each day how much I hate myself and should be punished.
I don't know how to handle my brother though. He does not want to tell me anything. He pushes me away also.

Your brother wants to make sure he stays with that open communication with her and i would prefer if i were you that he keeps that communication with her. Just win her over and she will forgive you for your mistakes if they come from the heart.. Don't push your brother for any information , Just tell him how much you love that he loves your daughter and that makes you happy and that you will work real hard to win her back.. Tell him mean while it means the world to you that he is there for her.
Try that and you will see that they change with you..

He is probably respecting your daughters wishes on not telling you what they talked about.... its not his choice to tell you what they talked about...its up to your daughter
Apologize to her, tell her how you feel the day you left her... tell her, goodbyes are hard for you and thats why you had to leave w/o saying it (only if that is the reason)...
Try talking to her, she is a teen...she takes everything to heart and about 100 times more then it should be taken...woot best years of being a parent ;) hehe
anyways, give her a call....and if she does not want to talk, dont worry about it...give her time...
