He doesn't sound like a great father by what you've shared. It's hard to make a complete judgement. A lot of people have rushed judgement and said that you should leave him. That's a big deal, for him and you and I don't you should do so lightly. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't, but this isn't the dating game, it's serious shit. In the short run, divorce may make the situation worse. Family therapy may help.

If you aren't financially independent, divorce can be even more difficult. You have to be prepared for that. Even after the divorce is final, you may still have to coparent with him depending on the outcome. A daughter with no father is not ideal either. It may be better than him. Protect your daughter as much as you can. Let him know when you think his behavior is harmful. Work on being more independent so life is easier for you if you have to leave him. And talk to your friends, family and maybe a therapist. Suffering alone is dangerous.
