Hi Yozzer
Welcome on board the crazy train that is DadTalk.
Why not look to do something to break the ice with your eldest like send her some flowers with a little note. She'll look at them every day and think of you. It worked for a friend of mine. He then went on to build on the success of that and asked her on a date, took her out to dinner at a pizza express and they had a great long talk. Turned out she was angry, embarrassed and sad.
Would your x be confiding in her about the reasons behind your breakup? If so it might be that she doesn't know how to react around you. Might be worth asking your x for her thoughts (if you're still on speaking terms that is!)
Keep pursuing her is the best thing mate, think outside the box and just keep repeating the message that u love her and you will always be there for her.
Lets us know how things go dude.
