In addition, if she were to date anyone else, I would be 100% done with this. That is a boundary that if crossed, I couldn't accept. I deserve better than that.
As far as walking on egghshells, yes, it's nerve-wracking. But, I'm dealing with it under the notion that in time, it will be resolved. I know what topics I can cover currently, and the ones I need to avoid. I'm fine with that for now.

She is not your child.
A relationship with your own child is completely different than a person you've been dating for 1 year, the majority of it in conflict.
If you are going to choose to walk on eggshells until the next blowup, so be it. But know that it's a choice you're making and the person you are actually compatible with can't find you because you're all wrapped up in this, and well that's how things go sometimes. She's sucked up a year of your life already and you should be out there looking for someone without all this baggage.
