I know this is for moms and im sorry but I'm 17 and had no clue where this should have been posted. My best friend is also 17 and i have a big crush on him but he does not date girls our age. I should note that we are in Wales where the legal age is 16. He constantly sleeps with with women who are in their 30s or early 40s. Nobody tells him anything because its legal and i feel like the only one trying here because i know he had a rocky upbringing. During his earlier years his dad wasn't exactly the best, he got beatings with a belt as punishment and cursed/yelled at and sometimes insulted although he said that part was fairly rare. His dad choked him when he was 12 or 13. He told me his dad would apologize to him but still give the same treatment and his mom didn't beat him but she would curse, threaten to slap or punch him, take her anger out on him by yelling, etc. His latest fling was with a 39 year old woman. I live with my best friend in a flat too so hearing them bang was definitely not my cup of tea.. One woman he was dating just a month ago was notorious for dating 17-19 year old boys she literally never dated someone over 19 and I don't understand how he's not disgusted by this or worried for his mental and sexual health because who knows what these women carry?? I'm not trying to sound jealous or selfish. I truly am concerned and i need advice. Would convincing him to go to a psychologist help? I have been thinking about introducing him to my auntie. She is infertile and has always wanted a child. I was thinking she could help him with his trauma and finally be that mother figure she's always wanted to be. Idk guys i just need advice because this stuff I've only seen on the telly
