I see this happening a lot. As the younger ones get over the people they spend time with(including their own parents) change. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. Whatever the case may be you're not alone. That is for certain.

That is the way it is with the closest of parents and children. They have to break the ties in various ways in order to become their own person. She is not totally aware of who is mom and who is daughter it seems. It appears it would be up to you, and not her if he came back into your house. She does not know yet what it would be like to be without mom and you are a good mom. It will all work out as she grows up.

Re: yes it hurts and it hurts forever. If you say nothing it is wrong if you
she is so mean at times but it was those moments that were fun and exercise at the same time

yes it hurts and it hurts forever. If you say nothing it is wrong if you
confront her it is even more wrong. I miss my youngest son and his family every moment of every day but letting go has allowed them to grow up and be the people THEY want to be. Why I don't even like them anymore but I love them.

My Hope
I hope you will find a good time to tell her just how much you are missing the mother-daughter time. I am new to parenting but I know the feeling can be hard to deal with, rather mixed emotions...all the best

I'm sure there will be a lot of changes in your relationship through the years to come, some periods more closeness and at other times separations. That seems to be the way life is. But, I have a feeling she will always be aware that you are there for her and be thankful for that.

Hang in there
Hang tuff. They grow away but then they come back. I even had to throw my daughter out of the house a few years ago. Now she is back and we are getting ready to go on another of our several road trips together. She is still my best friend she is just a little more grown up and now she has a man in her life that not only lets her be my buddy but is fast becoming a friend of mine as well and he has two daughters and a son that I am also close to. So see they come back and bring you even more then you had before. She even gave me a wonderful grandson. He is 20 months now and he's gama's little buddy.
