I see you just joined, I hope you find support here.
So sorry about this. I don't know what to say except that if she agreed to a counselor and resumed communication, that says that she's meeting you "halfway" so to speak but neither of you know where to start.
I'd think a therapist is definitely needed to explore these feelings on both sides. If neither of you ever had an emotional connection with each other, this is at the core to start with. Both of you to be really heard and validated.
Maybe try asking her point blank, "How do we break the ice?" Or "Where do we start?" It would be small steps for sure. I don't know of any books off the top of my head about this, but I'm sure they are out there. I'm not a parent either.
Hopefully others will respond that had similar experiences.
