      @Leahness sometimes people that are abused have what's called a Trauma Bond, where they still are attached to their abuser. This is what prevents many people from leaving abusive relationships

      As a person who has and is dealing with emotional abuser (my parents), just be there for her. Talk to a trauma therapist because they would be able to help you and her whether or not she is going too. If memory serves me right, 211 might have a great resource list. Also, find yourself a support group. Your fight is going to be long and hard so take care of yourself. Don't push her away unless you are getting into harms way. Create a safe space for her so she knows that she is safe. You are amazing for helping her

      Does your daughter understand this is what he's doing to her? If so, why does she stay and allow it?

          @weirdestpotato I've been there in the past. Some people also don't realize what abuse is when it's happening to them.
