My daughter is going to resent me

My 10YO daughter has no idea that my soon to be ex girlfriend (not my daughters mom) is going to be refinancing the house in her name next week (the mortgage has been in my name since we bought it together 4 years ago) and I will be moving into an apartment next weekend because we have mutually decided we cannot make things work. We tried couple’s counseling (over a year ago) and it didn’t help.. whatever. The only reason I am posting is because I feel like absolute dog 💩 knowing that my daughter will be crushed when I pick her up from her moms one day very soon and have to tell her that we have a new home. My soon to be ex gf has a son that is very close in age to my daughter (literally 4 days apart) and they are pretty much best friends. My daughter is also very fond of my ex gf as well. We decided together not to tell the kids before the move because it would only make things harder. I feel like I am betraying my daughter by blindsiding her with this. I’ve been doing individual therapy for a couple months and it’s been helping but I’m still struggling with all of this.
