If he has physically threatened her or your youngest, and you have it on voicemail, aren't there legal ramifications? At the very least, a restraining order to protect you and your youngest. He sounds unhinged.

All of the advice you have received is good. Especially the advice to take her to a battered women's shelter, domestic abuse agency, etc.
She needs to restructure her thinking about what a "normal/healthy" relationship is, since as others have said, she did not have the role model for one. Being there for her, for support, both emotionally, financially, and to provide shelter is very important. I can't tell you how many clients I have seen whose lives were shattered by being in a situation like this. The fact that you got out of an abusive relationship on your own, is amazing.
She needs counseling. If she is in school, they should have a counseling center there, that is free for students. Even if it is only short term, they can refer her to other places. And, they might have support groups there.
