Fixer, my ex left when my D was about 14/15 as well. I get what you're saying. But know this: your D has only one father. She knows that. She may want time with her mother and will tolerate other people in her mom's life. But at the end of it all, there is only one father - you. She knows that.
Your D is fast becoming a young woman. She needs you, her father. Nobody, and I'll say it again, nobody will take that place in her life. No matter what else happens.
Your daughter only wants her parents to be happy. She'll go to great lengths to try and make that happen. Then she'll become a teenager and focus on herself. That's a natural order of things though, so don't be alarmed.
Be her dad. She only has one and needs to see how you do things and know that you love her. The rest will take care of itself.
