The best thing for your daughter is for mom to sit her down and explain why she is leaving. And you need to be there so it doesn't become a case of "we decided to...".

You do not deserve to become a doormat for the sake of your daughter. All you're showing her is that it's okay for people you "love" to disrespect you. (And she will find out the whole story, someday.)


Yup!

Children learn by actions not by what you tell them,
they're tiny little recorders, she will mimic your actions, including having respect for yourself or being a doormat, I guess you get to choose which one she should act more like.
That part is YOUR choice.
