You mentioned that you "HOPE" to break the cycle of verbal abuse for your daughter-the type of abuse you endured from abusive drinkers. I'm sorry--I'm trying to be honest and supportive--but it appears this boyfriend will PERPETUATE the abuse. No child should have to endure verbal abuse from a parent.
You also never mentioned whether you drink.
