Child custody is always temporary because parents' lives change, like your did. 

So, no, you haven't lost all your rights, permanently. 

So now you have to ask (either the father or the court) how you want to be involved, why that's good for your daughter, and how you'll keep it consistent.

In all you do, relax, be honest, and keep the children emotional, financial, and physical needs first. You will most likely make your case by providing the court with a log of dates and statements that your children make. You can always provide the courts with information that will convey and show a prosperous life for you and the children if you were granted any changes that you are seeking. Please be advised that judges need compelling reasons why changes are needed before they are granted. Remember once the family and its members are in the court system, you pretty much have to answer to another party (non-bias) before making family decisions; and thats the judge and his or her officials.
