I think that you should try to have a relationship with your daughter, but not pursue her father. There is a reason you are not with him.
I also think that you should try to find a way to reconnect with your husband. Find something that you both enjoy, and do it together. You fell in love with each other for a reason.Find those things about him that made you fall in love to begin with. When you begin to think about how things COULD have been, and start to wonder, "What if", think of all that you have now. I am sure that your husband does truly care for you, maybe, you both have just grown into a comfortable love. The spasrks that were there when you first met are still there, I am sure, they just aren't as bright as they once were. This is normal.
If you are having concerns about how youre husband treats you, maybe you should talk to him. He may have no idea that you feel bad in any way.
Things will all work out for you, of that, I am sure. Just keep your chin up.

Hello Deedee! Honestly, your situation is very difficult. I know you could have decided easily whom to hod on to but your boys are very recious, I know. Whichever path you follow, keep in touch or be involved in the life of your daughter for you've missed a lot of hers, you weren't around that much when she was still growing up. I hope you'll be fine and have faith in yourself and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for the gift of friendship. Take care.
