I'm 17F and my boyfriend is 17M. Both of us are out of highschool preparing for our college entrance exams that are coming up in around a week. Lately, there's been a lot of problems going on between his parents and his mother vents to him a lot on a daily basis. This goes on for most of the day and he feels extremely drained, mentally with no energy left because of which he isn't able to focus on studies even though this exam could be the deciding factor for his future. His dad is a prick and his older brother isn't as emotionally involved with his parents so relying on them both isn't much of an option. I'm really concerned for him. Because of how much he's got on his plate, he isn't able to study for his tests along with the burden of keeping his mother together. He says that him and his grandma are the only people that are there for his mother at the moment. Whilst I sympathise with his mother a lot, I'm not sure how I feel about her venting to him daily during one of the most important stages of his life. Because of all this, we barely get to talk which I'm okay with but since we only talk for about 30 minutes a day, there isn't much I'm able to do to help him and frankly, I don't know how. I'm really concerned for him, in terms of his mental health and his upcoming exam and I wanna do as much as I can to help him in this situation. What should I do? Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. I love him and really wanna help him out.
I just wanna drown myself sometimes. In blades, pills, alcohol, or death. I'm tired of holding up. I just wanna cut my skin open.
