What do I do about ex girlfriend? I miss her friendship more

[groo]

I'm going to try not to make this too long. I started dating a woman whom I had become very close friends with. In the beginning we decided that if things didn't work out, that we would try our hardest to remain friends. Well, six months later, she ends it. She says things just don't feel right and that life is leading her to a different path. She had a 2 year old daughter who I also became really close to. She asked me not to disappear from her daughter's life like her previous boyfriend had done. I made it clear to her that I had no intentions of doing that and that I wanted to stay friends. I just need time to get over the shock of things and I would be alright. Well, 1 week later I'm recovered, still heartbroken, but able to accept things for the way they are. Now she has changed her mind about me visiting her daughter. She seems really distant and weird when I talk to her and I don't really understand why. She says that she is afraid I'm not going to move on and I'm going to stay in love with her, and that I need more time to heal. I made it clear that I was fine, but that I did miss her friendship the most. I haven't been calling her, usually she is the one to call when she needs help with something work related(we are in the same line of work) But the way she acts, you would think I was the one who broke up with her. I've asked if I can see her daughter and she says she needs more time to get used to my new role. What that role is I'm not sure of , because I can't really tell if she is serious about remaining friends. I do want whats best for her child, so I'm not questioning that aspect. I know we can't be friends like we were before, but the way she acts toward me really hurts. Our breakup was totally civil and I have no ill feelings toward her. I thought usually that was what caused people not to be friends afterwards;when the breakup isn't civil or someone does something wrong in the relationship. Anyways, sorry for rambling. I guess my brain is telling me I should give her space, but it seems backwards. Thanks for letting me vent here.
