Lee,
Sorry to hear about this, very sad for you and your daughter.
I have worked to have a civil relationship with my ex (as has she) so that we can be parents to our son. He is now 14; we are there for him at music concerts and school events and it makes a huge difference for him. He has parents who support him and can be in the same room (!) and that we agree on many things that matter to a teenage kid...
Takes a serious effort to make sure your child's interests are the focus of the conversation....and the only focus...
I'm very lucky that we have found a way of living with the situation that allows him to see both his parents every day....and that through all of this one of his 'homes' has remained the same and the one he lived in before our split, keeping a bit of stability in the midst of the upheaval.
Best to you
