My boyfriend strangled me in front of our daughter

My daughter is now terrified of him. I feel like a terrible parent for not leaving before it got to this point but at the same time I feel terrible for taking her away from him. I tried to take her to see him but she had a panic attack. She said she misses him but is scared of him at the same time. The truth is I feel the same way. I'm having a hard time processing these emotions as an adult I can't even begin to fathom what it must be like for her. She is only 5 years old. I have a temporary restraining order against him I was going to ask for supervised visitation on the condition that he received mental health services but I'm not so sure if that would be in her best interest. At the end of the day he is her father but I'm so scared that she's not safe with him. I'm getting her into therapy but aside from that what are my options here? I feel so lost 😔

Honestly my opinion is if she doesn’t want to see him I would leave it at that. That might change but that’s a scary thing for a kid that young to see. Concentrate on healing yourself and your daughter that’s the most important part ❤️ And if it does change and she wants to see him definitely go through a lawyer and have supervised visits.
