We all know that life can throw curveballs, especially when it comes to family drama. One teenager found himself caught between a rock and a hard place when his mom and strict stepdad decided to transfer him to a controversial Christian school. Fearing the impact on his social life and future, he made a bold decision to move across the country to live with his dad. But with his mom still furious and their relationship in tatters, he's left wondering if he made the right choice. 😓
