Don't do what you 'think' you should do. Do what you feel. If you feel better (and it sounds like you didn't realize you WOULD feel better if this happened) you should take that as a sign that something was wrong and now it is right.
As a parent, I'm hoping you take care of that kid. Get them away from an abusing, unnurturing parent that can manipulate them. Get on with your life, love yourself, love that kid and perhaps draw someone in who can enhance it.
Good luck, and don't listen to that voice in your head telling you to 'stand by her'.
