I have a seventeen year old daughter. She's got good morals; she's a great girl. But she has severe depression and also bipolar. Her and her best friend/boyfriend have been together for about a year, and he has helped her through this.
My husband does not treat the family good at all... and we are going through a divorce.
At the same time, Andrew's family is abusive and he no longer has anywhere to go, and does not want to go through foster care since he will be eighteen in five months.
Anyways... he's been a big help for my daughter. I know they are not doing anything and he's staying at our place. What do you think of this? I know the two aren't having sex, but do you think letting him stay here is right?

You don't say how old the bf is.
There may not be anything happening now, however, that will most likely change. It will be just a circumstance of opportunity.
You know better than us how much you trust these kids.
For myself, and myself only, they'd only be there together if I were there at the same time.
Good luck with this.

I am not doubting you, but I think it is not wise to let your daughter's boyfriend live with you for very long. Try to find another good place for him not too far away. Living in the same house places them in the way of temptation.
