I am not sure, I'd have to go back, but I believe you were warned about the impact of you dating on your kids. You have been dating since March of 2019.....but your D wasn't final until 11/4/19. That is the kind of thing kids in the 11-18 year old range can really resent. "You gave up on mom and family months before you were D'd!"
I know you are convinced of parental alienation....but you have provided the ammo for it yourself. Your relationship with your daughter is your responsibility. So it sounds like you have a choice. An R with your GF, or an R with your daughter. This is why many experts suggest that divorced parents do not date until their kids are 18. There is a lot of empirical evidence for this, though it mostly related to step-fathers. But the statistics are irrefutable. The chance of minor children being sexually abused skyrocket when a man who isn't their father is introduced into the home. But the impact of GFs on minor children is still a factor.
This is why we suggest not dating. The complexity of another person thrown into the mix can make a toxic situation even more toxic.
Go back 1 1/2 years ago and imagine if Wolfman had prioritized being the best father he could be over everything else? Food for thought.
