“Rock And A Hard Place”

I have gay parents.  NO, I don't agree with it, but that’s not the point.

Both of them have recently gotten physically abusive.

I want to talk to someone about it, but I feel God is telling me to stay at my mom’s and not move to my dads.  The reason is that I have a better chance in college if I were to stay at my mom’s.

And even if I were to move to my dad’s, I would have to say goodbye to everything I know and love.

What should I do; how should I handle this situation?

Sincerely,
No Easy Choice

Dear No Easy Choice,

Choose what’s right, and the future will care for itself.  If we understand you correctly, the physically abusive parents are at your mother’s home.  Your father’s home does not have abuse and does not have the immorality issues.  So you have two choices:

1. Stay in an immoral home where you have to worry about your mental, emotionally, spiritual, AND physical safety because you believe that you might be able to go to college if you stay.
2. Move to an overall safer and more moral environment that would force you to leave your friends, neighborhood, comfort zone, etc.

The key is to never make decisions based off of the consequences.  Make decisions based off of what is right.  Bad company corrupts good morals (1 Cor 15:33).  You current situation is bad company.  If you stay, it will destroy you.  You do not know what moving will bring, but you know that staying will bring only corruption.  Trust the Lord and His Word to guide your life.  You can never know what is the best choice.  He does.  Have faith, and He will bless you in your new life.  Let the Lord be your hope and shield (Ps 119:114-116).
