Bottom line
- You should start searching for agencies to help your daughter when you kick her ass to the curb. Bottom line, it is your home and she is abusive to you, and only you have the ability to effect change within your home. I know it sounds cold and heartless. But I'm sure you've already exhausted your other options.

The curb, or kerb, is the high edge on the outer side of a sidewalk/pavement. So, if u kick her *** at the door, she will probably end up on the curb. Means definitely, you will lock the door after that.

- a rather idiomatic conjunct, I would paraphrase as 'You may be as permissive as you want, but at the end of the day (the bottom line) the only truth is that it is your home.

The first expression must be British. In US, we would use "out", and not "to the curb". It means that you told your daughter that she could not live in the house any more. You will pack up her things and put them ouside and lock the door. She would have to find another place to live, even on the streets.
"Bottom line" means, "at the end of the day", or "the conclusion is", "in summary".

The bottom line is also called the punch line in jokes and theatre, as in the last, witty line making people laugh.

No, Hopper, they are different idioms.
The "bottom line" is always a serious matter. It comes from the accounting practice.
The "punch line" is always a funny matter. It is something that gives the final effect (a punch). It probably comes from the famous very funny puppet show "Punch and Judy"
