Worried about my boyfriend's (28M) mental health
Post Body

My boyfriend (28M) and I (27F) have been dating long distance for going on 9 years this June. Yes I know that's quite a long time to be dating someone long distance, but we make it work. Anyway, the whole time we've been dating, it has been a constant concern with how his family treats him. I know I have no room to talk because I'm just an outsider, but from what I've heard from time to time, my boyfriend is basically the cinderella in his family. Mundane tasks that they could do (setting an alarm, washing dishes, car washing, etc. etc.) they expect him to do. And if he "talks back" (which is basically nothing disrespectful), he's told off and immediately torn down. Every petty little thing is "his fault". Oh the laundry wasn't hung up, the driveway wasn't shoveled, the alarm wasn't set, and so on. And that's gotten so much worse since the lockdown started. I try my damndest every day to keep him sane and make him laugh somehow. Even if it's a momentary thing. And yet my efforts are wasted because there's always something that happens that sours his mood more. If he even so much as "complains" about something, they just tell him to "suck it up" and "stop being so sensitive". It's getting so bad I'm getting worried for his mental health. Yes, a solution would be for him to move. But of course, with the pandemic, that's not possible. It's even more not possible and neither of us is financially stable. At this point, I'm getting worried something will happen to him since he has no healthy way to vent. What more can I do to help him? I wanna get him out of that environment somehow but don't know what to do.
