    This girl Ive been seeing for the past couple weeks has extremely strict parents who don't want her to have a boyfriend (shes 19 btw)
    Everytime we meet she has to make up and excuse to see me... for example, shopping in the city for christmas..

    She also told me that her father sometimes gets really angry and actually hits her and has left her with a black eye before...

    Just looking for some advice as to what to do ?

    Ugh, horrible situation. Cant really much advice, I'd try and persuade the girlfriend into doing something about it, either call the cops/social worker or just move out. What I wouldnt recommend is acting to hestily and you being the one to call the cops/a social worker without the girlfriends knowledge. Chances are your girlfriend will hate you for it and I doubt it will make her home-life any easier.

    Her parents are just the way they are. There's no point in trying 'fix it' because that's probably how they themselves were raised. Sucks, but there's plenty of them around but soon they'll die out!!

    If I were you I'd encourage your girlfriend to move out of the house and gain some independence, that's the only way she'll ''escape'' really.

    unless i was married or best friends with the girl, i wouldn't do that.. she's 19 so she'll be moving away from the father anyway
