You forgot the #1 priority - herself. Her daughter isn't even in the top 5.

Probably because jmakin cares more about your daughter and her well-being than you do.

While we all experience different versions of reality, her version is a few more standard deviations from the rest of us. That doesn't mean her account isn't true, but it does mean we need to take it with more than a few grains of salt. She is more prone to ending up in an abusive relationship than the average person. She is also more prone to mis-characterizing aspects of her relationships than the average person.
Nothing wrong with giving her the benefit of the doubt here as long as evidence isn't ignored.
