The dangerous pursuit of near impossible goals gives life meaning to some.
Tolerance to pain gives heightened pleasure to some.

Might should not, but often does make right.
Military training can extinguish compassion, original thinking and creativity.
Military authority can be abusive.

Sorry about F***stein. He is a SHPOS (sub-human piece of sh*t) as I used to mentally refer to the unsavory characters that I had to deal with professionally. Having said that you need to get what you need while preparing for his funeral. I believe that he is abusive because his predatory personality detects your sensitivity to his verbal assaults. He is a bully. I can't imagine how difficult it is to be the subject of his unprofessional conduct.
Bruce Stanley, one of my defense attorneys once told me to think of my words at deposition like $10.00 bills. You want to say as few as possible in response to the planttiff attorney's questions. Similarly, in your case there is no need to respond to any personal questions or statements except with a smile, a nod or a shrug. Practice this in front of the mirror. You have the high ground and really don't need to respond at all to any of his inappropriate remarks. ( You don't need to give him any $10.00 bills. You don't have to get in the gutter with him. You don't need to give fuel to his perverted fire.) If it makes you feel better keep a log of any of his actions that make you feel uncomfortable.
Remember what it is that you want to get out of the relationship. On the plus side is money and experience and proximity to your boyfriend. On the minus side is the psychological trauma that you are having difficulty tolerating. Also, this guy might inflict professional wounds in the future if you have to reference him. But, you can exploit the opportunities afforded by exposure to the Fort Lauderdale legal community once you are sworn in. A part of me wants you to be able to be able to exploit him unemotionally, get what you need, keep your eye on the prize, and like Machievlelli's Prince dispose of him when it suits you. The other part of me recognizes this man as a predator that might best be avoided.
You make the call. We support you.
We will see you Sunday.
Love,
Dad
