Concerned about my daughter’s conversion

Last year my teenage daughter met this man while we were living in Hong Kong. He is from India. He lied about being a bit older than her. He’s actually 28 and married (he married a 14 year old child 5 years ago in Kolkata).

I’ve been in a relationship for 6 years, but my father has threatened to kill me if I choose my own husband.

I would like to begin this query by asking Almighty Allah to forgive me for all that I have done.

I know Islam tells you to respect your parents but what my family has done with me I cannot respect my parents.
