Im only starting to get into reading looking for recommendations and someone to talk to about books because none of my friends read.

Literally all Ive read are Lynn Painter books Im only getting into reading and would love some recommendations.

Hi, ive never been in a position like this before and i just dont know how to handle it. Ive been with my boyfriend for a few months now we’re both 19, he was always really hesitant if I mentioned meeting his parents. He technically lives with his dad but always finds an excuse to stay at a mates or at mine, my parents have just started assuming theyre making a dinner for him too they dont mind they love him but whenever I asked him why he would stiffen up and make it a joke he has some scars on his back and one on his stomach but he always said he doesnt remember and I didnt push because I could tell he didnt want to talk about it.

the other day he was staying at my house and someone started banging on the door and when my mum opened it he started screaming at her taking his child so my dad went to the door and dealt with it. we were all very confused until my boyfriend spoke up and told us it was his dad and that he was sorry and how its his fault my mum just hugged him I was so confused about what was going on but I didnt like it. later that night he told me everything and literally broke down sobbing and said it was the reason why hes in the gym nearly every day of the week since hes 16 so he can fight back. my heart broke listening to him and looking at him. Hes very capable of defending himself but thats his dad like and it wont stop him from trying.

obviously its a very sensitive issue one i dont know how to deal with so if anyone has experience please id be grateful for any advice on how to help emotionally and (hopefully) get him out of that house. I genuinely cant sleep with the thought of him in that house and he texted me saying his dad is drunk which if im this scared god only knows how he feels rn and i dont want him to have to feel like this anymore.

tldr: boyfriends dad is very abusive but he cant afford to move out. how do i help him emotionally and get him out of that house?
