Well, there would be no hitting that's for sure.

Well... I wouldn't get in a fist fight with him.

I don't understand how they don't approve of her if they didn't know about her? Anyway, I guess I would react the same way as I would if I knew about the girlfriend. I'd cry and then we'd all sit down and start discussion options and a plan of action. The girl's parents would also be involved in the discussion.

I would not hit my son but would ask myself where have I been for a year to not know he had a girlfriend

I'd kick my own ass for not being an attentive parent for over a year.

I agree with funlovin plus I would have called the police on the father for hitting a child, unless he threw the first punch

How the hell do your parents miss that he's been dating for over a year? Talk about dysfunctional. Your poor brother. Hopefully her parents are more understanding and won't try to hit him (or her) because of negligent parenting.

You know the more I think about it the madder I get, he chose to beat on his child because they're being shit parents. Seriously that's so screwed up, I hope your brother has him arrested and lives a happy life.
