I don't know what to do

Dear Caitlin,
i am being torn from two people ilove a lot in my life . My mom wants me to live with her, and my dad wants me to stay with him. either way i lose somebody. whar should i do?
from, kjm

Dear kjm,
That is such a tough place to be. But I have a feeling that you know in your heart where you should be. If you don’t, take some quiet time to just listen to your heart and to ask God to show you. I’m sure he will. And once you know, you can tell the other parent that it’s not that you don’t love him or her, but that you need to live in the place that’s best for you right now. But let that other parent know that you plan to stay in touch and still want to spend time with him or her. And most of all, know that your parents’ split is not your fault—and that you can’t fix it. Mostly you need to take care of yourself and keep your heart tuned in to God. Hang in there!
Blessings,
Caitlin
