writes: My BF lives with his mom and brother.Both he and his brother go to the university here in our city, and their only financial support is their mom, as their dad was abusive and abandoned them when they were kids.The thing is, his mom has worked as a secretary/assistant in a company for years. She earns a very modest amount of money, but she manages to support her small family. However, today she was fired. She'll only have a job there until May. She hasn't any other professional preparation other than to work as a secretary. She isn't getting any younger either, so that slims the chances that she'll get a job soon.My boyfriend is devastated. He's 22. He's already figuring out how he could get a part time job or something. I feel really sad about all this... Obviously I can't get his mom a new job, but I wonder, how could I help him through this? I can't really relate that much, because my dad has quite a stable income, and the last time he was unemployed I was very, very young so I don't remember. How can I help?

 You could ask them to move in with you ,
if you have the space and your dad's permission to keep his cost down.
You could also get a part time job if your b/f or dad allows .
just be there for him.
