Ok well I've been with my boyfriend for over 2 years and his parents are crackheads. Seriously. His dad hits his mom and smokes crack around him and his little brother and cheats on his mom. His mom stays with his dad even though the dad does this crap. The dad is the only one that works and spends most of his money on crack. The mom won't get a job and get away from the dad. Because of this my boyfriend has to sell weed and hustle and steal in order to feed him and his little brother and pretty much stay alive. He has left his parents house many times and lived with his grandparents but eventually his grandparents tell him he has to go back home. I know he hates being at his house and that's why he drinks and smokes weed. I care about him more than anything and I love him to death but I wish he didn't smoke drink or have to hustle to be able to live. I hate his dads guts and I partially hate the mom because she's hella stupid and she does try to get away from his dad but the dad always gets the mom back some hoe which aggitates me and my boyfriend. I feel really bad for my boyfriend and want to know how I can help him and make sure he doesn't start doing worse drugs and to help him quit smoking. Please please please help me! I may be only 17 but I really care and love him and I don't want him to have to go through this alone... I want him to understand that I'm here for him whenever and always. Please help me!
