My boyfriend's father physically abuses him.

My boyfriend and his father argue a lot. His father has hit him in the past and has severe issues with bi-polar/anger. My boyfriend also has some mental problems. He told me that he would never turn his dad in for hitting him because his my has multiplesclorosis and can’t hold a well paying job and would never want to leave her with nothing. That is very sweet and understanding of him, but he cannot stick around to be hit all the time. He will be graduating this month and hopefully will move out but he may have to stay there a while. Any reasonable suggestions would help…thanks!

Answer #1

You might want to call this number, it’s a child abuse hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD they may be able to give you some advice. The call is confidential, they’re not going to send the police after you, but it might just give him the support he needs.

Answer #2

dealing with that sort of father is quite difficult I’ve had those experiences myself when I was younger he should try and keep the tension calm, if the father wants to start something he should just nod or say as little as possible so it wont escalate (worked for me) a help line wont do much to a young adult because he is not a child anymore and therefor cant exactly be helped by those kinda helplines he should just keep it calm and simple until he moves out and finds somewhere to live

hope this helped a bit

Answer #3

try to keep him calm all the time! I hope it works!
good luck
