[quote=Anonymous]We've known him since early middle school he's a very sweet, responsible kid but his father is an abusive drunk and he's been sleeping in my son's room(they are close friends, that's how we know him) at least once a week for a couple years now, about 3 months ago my daughter mentioned to my wife that they we're dating and under the circumstances we weren't really that worried about the occasional sleepover my wife made sure she was on birth control and understood safe sex and consent and everything. 
However quarantine and summer have been really bad for the bf, his father lost his job and he doesn't have the escape of school so about two weeks ago he shows up with a backpack and fresh black eye asking if he can stay for a while, obviously we say yes and he's been sleeping on our sofa. the dynamic so far seems pretty workable for now, he's a good kid very respectful and helpful around the house although he has been walking on eggshells. But I know teenagers and that we have to lay down some ground rules about doors open curfews and the like.

I know this situation could become ugly very quickly especially regarding a potential breakup and I Know I'd have to take my daughters side but at the same time I don't want to throw him out on the street, or make them feel like they can't end things because of the situation.
