I’m not the best at giving advice because I let my heart lead and my head worry about it later.
I think that every child should know who their parents are and have the chance to develop a relationship or decide they don’t want to, like you said....you’re giving her the opportunity for that to happen.
Speaking as a woman - from a divorced family, my mother never kept us from our dad even when she remarried. She always encouraged our phone calls, summer plans, vacations etc and never stood in his way of being with us. After my dad finally got through his alcoholism through therapy and his home was finally ready for us, they split custody (school year with mom, summer and holidays with dad).
Children need both parents and if you have an option to have him in her life and the interactions are healthy, then I would encourage it.
It’s the most selfless thing you can do for her and I think you’re a gem 💎 for wanting to ensure she has this option ❤️
