 hi, i think that even though she will be turning 18 if she wants to keep in contact with her dad she can if not well she wont. So you are worrried that you and him will drift appart?..i agree with anon, you should ask him to meet up with him once in a while to talk about her, or even a phonecall. simply say to him that you want to keep in contact with him to discuss your daughters life, but make sure that is okay with your daughter as she might not like you discussing her..

 Hey,
you don't say why you're upset about this arrangement coming to an end - do you still hold a candle for your daughter's father?
Even though she's 18, she's still going to need stuff from her parents, help through college, first place to live and so on, so maybe this isn't the end after all.
And if you're feeling sad about it, is there any chance you can strike up a regular meeting with him on the basis that it's a meeting to talk about your daughter and how she's getting on - say once every couple of months??
If he's distant there's a reason why though, you've not said why in your post, but it's that you need to address first of all.
good luck!
