That's a great question. I would've told him to talk to someone about the abuse he's enduring even if it's uncomfortable and to do everything he can to move away from my father as soon as possible. I'd also tell him to start EMDR therapy and stick with it for as long as needed to fully heal before trying any psychiatric medication. And to stay away from all hard drugs, no matter how tempting they might seem at first and try to find other ways to cope like finding healthy relationships with people who love and appreciate you for who you are and don't hurt you. Those things could've really helped me back then, now not so much.
