I am a parent with my last one at home and I know I will be sad to see him go when he's ready, but I also want him to soar as I'm sure your parents want the same for you. Praying for God to open and close the doors necessary in helping you make the right choice for you life in His will. ((Hugs)) Jeremiah 29:11

I have almost the same dilemma except that I don't have the choice to stay with my parents to assist them in their time of need.

My pop taught me that sometimes family is all that you have left,he has always been there for me just like my ma,when I lost my apartment because the rent went from $750 a month to $1500 a month he didn't even hesitate, he said "get all of your stuff and move in here".

I think that one of the main contributors to the current state of the world is the lack of family values.

People will kick their kid's out of the home as soon as they can, those kid's don't hesitate to put those parents in to some cold uncaring often abusive home.

Who needs you more?the army or your family?

My parents will take me back if I need to come home. And I will care for them as they get older in whatever way I can.

As to who needs me more. The army probably wouldn't miss me but my parents sure will.
 
Depleted that is great advice. I intend to copy it into my notebook if you don't mind. Thank you.

Probably the army. Most parents don't need help from their kids until they get old. I'm thinking her parents are about your age? Maybe in their 50's? Maybe even 60's? That's just not old. (At least, in most cases.)

Thank you so much for that. I am a writer so I will write home as much as possible. After basic I will still be a long way from home but I will go home as much as possible. This may be God's will as He has opened the doors for it so far.

Good to hear. They will look forward to that... I wish my children also write=).
 
This is a big life change for you, but a very good one. I understand that leaving home is not easy and you will be missed. I think is very important for you to leave home right not and find what God has for YOU. You are young and have a full life ahead of you. This sounds like a great opportunity for you to learn new skills, meet new people and expand your horizons. Who know, maybe you will decide to move back home when you are finished, but at least you tried something else and won't ever regret trying. I pray for your peace in this decision.
