-Don’t let him talk you into hurting him. As much as he wants it, you can get a lot farther with him by being kind. He’ll get used to not being hurt eventually, and can learn other ways of being shown care.
-Affection will very nearly break him. He’s completely used to only being shown “appreciation” through pain, and genuine kindness will practically make him shut down. Be patient and nice to him, and he’ll learn how to adjust.
-He’ll eat himself sick if you let him, so monitor how much he gets to eat. He’s not used to having food, and will eat anything he’s given.
-All of his scars can be pretty painful at times. As much as he claims to like it, learn the signs and help him when he’s hurting. He’ll be eternally grateful for the care, even if he claims to be fine with the pain.
-He’s likely to try to hide how much pain he’s in in the hopes you’ll hurt him more. Make it very clear that you always expect the truth from him.
-Attention and praise rule him more than anything. If you’re good to him, he’ll do anything you say without the slightest hesitation.
-You’ll probably have to work on his confidence. He sees himself as worthless unless he’s being hurt, and will need a lot of kindness and reassurance to ever see himself in any other way.
-It’s unlikely that he’ll express his needs and wants for fear of being a burden, and you’ll be wise to learn to ask him what he needs from you.
