When co-parents disagree about a child's emotional needs after divorce

My teenage daughter and I used to be really close, but since the divorce she's been angry and distant and my ex-husband keeps telling me I'm being too sensitive when I try to talk to him about it. I feel like I'm losing her and I don't know if it's normal teenage stuff, divorce trauma, or something I'm doing wrong.
