Answer 1

I'm really sorry to hear what has happened to you and your family over the past 15 years. Why don't you try to be open and honest with your ex-husband and try to tell him how you feel. I know that it can be extremely hard to do some things but ikf you truely believe that it's the best thing for you and your daughter then do what your heart tells you to. What is the situation with your son? Maybe see what everyone has to say and work from there. Your ex-husband has no right to ruin your daughters memories and love for her real father and you need to make that clear to him.
