I am sorry but mental illness does not mean one gets a free pass. There is accountability which, again, he is not taking.
I don't understand why you are still prioritising him and/or making excuses (i.e. his mental illness, his apology, his 'progress') when your daughter is telling you explicitly how she is feeling about this dynamic. She is already suffering. All that this 'teaching' her is that being with an abusive partner is okay. It is not!

Progress meaning he apologized, and I took the opportunity to say my opinion needs to matter to him. But yeah, i realize now that is not progress, that is nothing. He doesn’t take accountability, true. He usually thinks other people have a problem, not him.
My daughter is suffering. She knows it’s not okay to be with someone abusive, rather it’s been trying to live with someone with a serious mental illness. She is the smart one knowing that it’s no excuse to mistreat someone and she wants away from it.
