Your daughter sounds like she is well cared for so you shouldn't have to worry about that.  Probably if she was on her own about to have a baby or life wasn't going well - your decision may have been somewhat different.  But at what point in our lives is it okay for us to make decisions without feeling the weight of our children.  Good for you that you found someone to share your life with, good for you that you have someone that cares about you and that being away from for too long is an issue...good for you.  Sad, but some people have to actually live through situations to have an understanding towards others.  I would never wish upon anyone to be a single parent or be alone but sometimes people have to actually live it to understand it and realize the difference of having or not having.  You live life for you now.  Take care of you.  Continue loving your daughter and letting her know you do.  Her thoughts will mature as she does.
