With regards to the guy you have been dating it sounds like he makes you happy and when that happens it is normal to feel that attachment as it is still very new and fresh- it's all anticipation and excitement. However, it may become a problem if you feel like you are prioritsing his needs before your own. While it feels good looking after others you have to remember that you are important too. Do you feel like he is also good at reciprocating the care that you show him? It's important for that balance in relationships.
With regards to your question about parental responsibility, I would assume they would keep this until you turn 18 which is when you're deemed a legal adult. As I don't want to tell you any misinformation I've included this link which has some really useful information regarding the care system in the UK https://childlawadvice.org.uk/information-pages/care-orders/
I am sorry you had this experience- how they treated you is horrible and wrong. Some people can be very nasty for no reason, but the people close to you know the truth and that's the important thing.
