So, you don’t have an answer for what the OP is supposed to do when she’s divorced from her husband and her daughter STILL has to see her father every other weekend.
 
Supervised visits should be requested., assuming abusive behavior is occuring. And if not, every other weekend isn’t as bad as every day.

Again, 4 year old girls don’t just wake up one morning hating their daddies. Something is going on here.

If you go forward with separating, please, don’t let your daughter think she’s responsible.

And by the same token, do not end a marriage simply because a teen does not like her dad.

Agreed. My husband is an alcoholic, and it was pretty awful for several years. My teenagers urged me to kick him out. I didn’t, and he’s stopped drinking, and now they all get along well.

I would recommend more counseling, and especially encourage your husband to go if possible. Perhaps if he’s depressed, he can get help, or learn not to take out his feelings on everyone else.
For yourself, perhaps you could find more support and friendship in a women’s group at church or some other place. A good friend or two can be a real help in such a hard situation.

Hello.

Have you tried Al-Anon? Most everyone has had or is living with the effects of alcoholism (or addiction, in general) and Al-Anon addresses many issues.

Also, since this is just other people’s opinions here and not that of a professional, I’d advise you to find a good counselor and to speak to your priest, as this question is out of my scope.

You are in my prayers, please pray for me.

If there is physical abuse, you do need to get to immediate safety.
