Sadly your daughter has been influenced by his abuse also.

It is not you!
We try and protect our children the best we can from abuse, it’s not always possible.
It sounds as though your daughter is trying to process the facts that she’s aware of.
As a mother, we try not to press our feelings on to our children but they feel everything.
If your daughter is of an appropriate age and your deem it appropriate, id sit her down and explain. I did this with one of my children as I knew he was struggling to process what was happening. – it helped.
We don’t want to hurt our children by making them aware of the extent of abuse we’ve been subjected to and some children are far too young to understand and process it, but to sit with your daughter, reassure her and make her aware of the situation without going in to lots of detail can sometimes help.
If your daughter is still in school, it may be a good idea to speak to her school to see if there’s any support they can offer.
Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’re not alone.
Sending big hugs to you xx
