It's impressive and good to see how you proceed in a emotionally heartbreaking situation, especially with Carrie who before the bomb was a mom extraordinaire.
You are teaching your daughter what to expect in a man, what to love in a dad, what to respect in a father. She knows she is protected. And if, on the off chance she is manipulating the situation, you have an eye out for that, too. When wacky things happen, I figure there's a nugget of truth somewhere. Please don't be offended, that's just the way I think.
