Remain friends with your step child, but don't bother with your ex other than to be "cordial". If you had communication problems before, they won't improve with distance. I tried for years to save my marriage, encourage counseling, bring in religious support to no avail. Keep your dignity, keep it clean and if you can let that child know you'll always be there.

I would like to do so. At present she will not talk to me. With caller ID it makes it impossible to call her. Have sent emails and get no response. It's hard on me as well.

Hard as it sounds, let go. Pray. Give yourself time to heal.
