My daughter is 15 and lives with her Dad in another state. She has a facebook page and posts family pictures on it.
She has added me as a friend and I look at her pics daily. Recently, some family members (ex-husband's cousins and sister/ kids) came to visit. She posted pics with them and they all looked happy.
I am at peace being alone most of the time. There is no one telling me what to do and how to live my life and criticizing me 24/7 for any and all decisions that I make or do not make.
However, I wonder if I am missing out on good times within an extended family because I am divorced.
I know that when we were married I was compared to everyone and called a "zero." I also was told that I had a "cranky face."

No you are not missing out on the good times within a extended family just remember now you have the freedom to live again therefore you now cannot be compared to everyone your your own individual that makes you unique and now you can enjoy all the wonderful things that life has to offer
you have released yourself from the negativity around you
and moved forward to the positive side of life, In the near future if you do decide to re marry or meet someone else
than remember everyone has their own characters and therefore should be judge on their own behaviour and hopefully your new extended family will guide you with love and respect.

There is a reason that you are asking this question. Can it be that you want to big a bigger part of your daughters life?
If you take your daughter on a trip you will have special memories that her father will not have however, he is getting to hear how your daughter got an A on her history paper, or that special someone notice/talked to her. Its the little things that you may be missing that your ex's is getting that you are not.
If you like where you are, then everything is fine. If not you might want to move closer or set a time each week to call her and talk to her. Good luck

You arent missing a thing. Get into some groups where you can have your own fun and never regret the decision that you made.
