For her father's abuse to thrive, the entire family unit had to play a role, even if he did the main work.
You don't understand: dysfunction is systemic. It doesn't just come from one person. My mom is a super enabler and I had/still have anger towards her because she put me in harms way repeatedly.
Not quite true. Her mum left her abusive drug dealing husband when she was still a baby. However she gets to spend time with him due to custodial arrangements. The abuse did not come to light until my ex was much older and she recognizes it. By then it was too late.

Okay. When you say baby, how old do you mean? Is her mom with anyone else now? If so, how is their dynamic? If not, what is she like in every day interactions? They're so many factors at play here, it's just never that simple.
I feel that your ex probably felt very misunderstood and invalidated by you.

Figured I would chime in, very similar situation except I tried to make my DA aware of attachment theory at the end.
Didn't go well lol
