Hey there,

I recently caught my father watching gay porn. He doesn’t know I saw. This isn’t the first time I’ve caught him. The first time I was like 10, and I’m 19 now. I don’t think my mom knows but I just don’t know what to do. Please help.

Ashley

Ashley,

My heart truly aches to read your message and question. Instead of answering this question I would like to propose some options you have to consider. Once you have man-using-computer-mdread these options you will have to make a choice yourself, and I would encourage/invite you to pray before making the decision. Here are your options:

1. Do nothing – it is your father’s responsibility to be open and honest with your mother and the Bishop ( I am assuming you are members ).

2. Privately tell your mother and leave it in her hands.

3. Privately speak with your father, and let him know what you have discovered and your feelings about what you have discovered. Let him know your love and concern for him.

What you must decide is which option you are wanting to act upon. I again would encourage you to go before the Lord in prayer, and if you decide to either address this with your mother, or father privately (if you do this in front of them both, your father will automatically assume a defensive position), then fast and pray.

Sincerely,

Gramps
