Does this sound crazy?

Okay so I've posted on here before about this issue BUT NOW IT'S WORSE.

Backstory, but you can find it somewhere on my profile..

My boyfriend's step mom is being insane. We're both 19, in college, have part time jobs, and we have been dating over two years. He has a curfew of 8:30 (mostly week nights, but sometimes she changes it to also Friday and Saturday nights..we can't keep up when she changes it and when she doesn't) unless he's at work. Which is insane for a 19 year old. Not a bad person or student, he has a 3.6 GPA and has never gotten in trouble at school or broke the laws. Not even a speeding ticket. I'm the same way. So anyways, his step mom is insane. And here's a new reason why.

My boyfriend has been terrified for the past few months that she's going to kick him out of the house. Not her house, his dad's (she only pays her car payment and insurance as well as groceries). But she controls EVERYTHING. It's actually scary. If my boyfriend and I go on a date and a movie lasts longer than what we expected and he isn't home at exactly 8:30 or 9:00 (depending on her mood) she goes BALLISTIC on him the next day! Says he's worthless, never does anything for anyone around the house, calls him every name in the book, is super passive aggressive, etc. But I'm reality he sees her kids more than she does because every second he's not at work or out somewhere, he's babysitting for her while she does who knows what. He gets the kids up EVERY morning. She doesn't. He gets them ready for school. But he doesn't do anything ever, right?

Alright, well the other day, his little step brother (12) was getting really annoyed at his (my boyfriend's) little step sister (6). And throws A METAL TOY TRUCK AT HER HEAD. Hits her on top of her head hard enough to start bleeding and needs stitches! Step mom? Doesn't do anything but yell at him! CAUSES HIS SISTER PHYSICAL HARM ENOUGH FOR STITCHES! Well the next morning, my boyfriend tells his step brother he shouldn't have done that and that he needs to take both trash cans out. Like normal. They switch weeks for trashcan duty.

My boyfriend gets home from class and his step mom is home and goes off on him! Telling my boyfriend he has no right to 'abuse his power' and make his step brother take both trash cans out. That it's not his job to tell his step brother what to do.

But it was chores??

Well today my boyfriend was at home and his step mom refused to even talk to him. Just glared and acted pissed off. Then sent some text to his dad (not 100% sure what it was about but we have an idea..) and she asked if he got it. Well his dad apparently acted hateful and said "I'll do it when the time's right".

Well my boyfriend overheard and is TERRIFIED that she's kicking him out! He called me right after in a panic crying because he doesn't have anywhere to go if they kick him out. Which I wouldn't put it past her to kick him out. She's awful.

Well, then he started looking for apartments because if they do, he needs somewhere to go. So he finds one that he could afford, but then he wouldn't be able to have any money after utilities and groceries. Then I looked at it and found that if we both went in on it together, it actually wouldn't be too expensive. I make more than he does, so I could help more, plus be able to still save some.

Am I crazy for thinking about doing this?! I feel a little crazy since we're both college kids and haven't really dated that long. It's a huge step and im scared because of the money situation, but he wouldn't have anywhere to go and I don't want him to have to spend every cent and not have any leftover for emergencies.

I make almost $800/month mid March-December. January and February are slow, so I'm lucky to get $250/month during that time. My boyfriend makes around $650/month, but occasionally he will have $800 months too. The apartment is $375/month (not including utilities). So if we split everything down the middle, would we be okay? Or is this too crazy?

Please, any advice is appreciated. And I know the whole dangers of us breaking up, but I'm not worried about that right now. I'm more worried about him having a place to live!

---He can't live with me because we have no extra space for him to sleep (unless on the couch) and nowhere for him to keep any of his belongings.

I'm really scared for him, but I don't want to end up doing this if it would only last for a month or two (money reasons). Does it sound doable? Or are we crazy?
