Kids notice things, FM. It's always a good idea to hear them. I feel ya. My daughter tried to take on too much of the responsibility as well. It was heartbreaking to watch and I put a stop to it early on. It was weird though. She shifted her anger toward me and has been angry for far too long.
Be careful of their anger, FM. It's there and it will come out. They need you to guide them how to release that anger and they'll look for examples.
Your D15 is a smart cookie. She's letting you know she loves you and wants the best for you and she understands (too much) what happened.
I've found it best to not let my dating get in between me and my kids. And I was incredibly careful to not introduce anyone to them until we had dated a while. They haven't met most of the ladies I've dated nor too many of my friends. I'm selective and cautious like that. Looking back, I'm very glad I have been that way. Even though they both gave me "permission" to date as well.
Something to consider.
Hang in there.

That should have read NOT a high and mighty kind of person. Oops.
