Choice: Lover or Child

Is it possible to choose your child over your spouse? Spouse over your child? It's been said everyday, "I wouldn't chose them over them." But the reality is, sometimes even you choose sides.

Example 1

The school calls. Your daughter is caught having sex in the boy's bathroom. You and your husband pick her up from school. At home, your husband/her father, beats her to a pulp. She runs out the door to run away. Do you run after her or to your husband?

Example 2
Wife claims step son is eating all of the food in the house. Constantly, she complains there is never enough groceries. She purposely hides food. When step son comes home part time job, there is no bread. He goes off on on step mom. Husband comes home from work. Who does he side with?

Example 3
Son and daughter claim no spiritual alliance. Father is okay. Mother is upset. Daughter dies blond hair black and begins wearing all black. Son is gay. Father tears off at son. Who does the mother console?

The reality is life is different for so many. Before you are quick to determine what you would never do, watch out you feet may be in like shoes.
