Hey guys i really need your help i feel like im going crazy. Well tomarrow is me and my bf one year anniversery and i love him so much. The problem is he lives with his ucle and his uncle is the meanest and rudest person i have ever met. His uncle works him like a horse from 4am till 9pm cutting the grass with a pair of scissors and treats him like a dog and told him to eat out of the trash. My bf puts up with it though because he has no where else to live and is having a hard time finding a job and is only 19 years old. My bf is struggling and says he cant take much more of it. He also has bipolar and depression but takes meds for it. But since his uncle is being so hard on him he acts diffrent lately. He now has an extremly short fuse, grumpy, i feel like i annoy him alot and he doesnt say i love you or sweet things as much and i really miss the old him of him being so sweet and lovein. I know he is going through alot right now with his uncle but i dont know what to do any more? i just want things to get better for him but i dont know how i could find him a place to live or a job and im scared that things could stay this way. thank youfor reading this and for any help.

Dear Mandy agony auntHI

thats just so sad, the poor lad dont have a chance in hell if he dont get out now, but expecting him to show you any kind of affection or love right now just isn't going to happen, as you said ontop of everything his putting up with he has bipolar and obviously depressed. Taking his anger out on you because your the closest person to him right now is very common in this situation,( but you need to tell him this is not exceptable_)all you can do if you love him as much as your saying is just be there for him, hold him when he needs it, listen to him, and let him KnoW that no matter what you will always be there for him. and that if he ever wants to talk or needs your help to get out of there you will do your best to do all you can. is there no one at all he can go and stay with? he should not be treated like a dog, my daughter is 19 and god forbid anyone treating her that way, they would need an army to keep me off them. can he not go to a ymca, or a relative somewhere? either way there really is little you can do , he has to help himself and know his worth more than this.

I hope you get things sorted
