I need some advice. PLEASE!!!!!
I’m a 21 year old lesbian, who recently got married. My wife actually got arrested for a an FTA for driving without a license crime and I had no ride so I called my mom and she picked me up. Now my wife wants me to come home which is 3 hours away, at the same time I found out my dad is having some health issues and my mom is going out of town and needs someone other than my younger sister to look after my dad. My wife is upset because she thinks I’m choosing the people who never accepted I was gay over her, my wife but I’m just trying to make the right decision.

Is there any way you can work towards a understanding with your family ..... family ties and being torn to choose will cause issues in your marriage ...... it is not that you chose one over the other but you are being torn between helping and taking care of family or your wife. sooner or later it will come to a problem.
while they may not have accepted you are gay i have seen plenty of families in time come around and if you hold a grudge over the initial reaction forever .... how will you all heal. i am a parent of a gay child.
if your dad is ill and help is needed and you chose not to some day you may regret it and that can build resentment that your wife is pushing you to chose.
