I'm sort of stuck in a rut. I'll try to keep this as short as I can. (Incase you may not know, I am 16 and I still live with my parents.)For some background info, my step-dad is not saved, but claims to be a Christian. The same goes with my mother.I had suspicions 6 weeks ago that my step-dad was cheating on my mom. It came through checking up on the IE history through sheer curiosity. I found that he accessed profiles of women who were looking for single guys. So after further things I found, I decided to set up a key-logger on the computer that would record the keys. In retrospect, I should not have put up the key-logger; however once I put my hand in the plow, there was no going back.I began to discover graphic, graphic conversations between women online at the wee hours of the night that I will not get into here. This almost killed me, and I could not continue reading the logs. (Phi. 4:8) I probably read only a few logs out of the whole 6 weeks that I was recording this. The ones that I did read, I found out that he was meeting women outside, and this was not just something online-exclusive. It broke my heart.So, I contacted my sister (in her thirties) on advice for what to do. I didn't do it in any gossiping-manner; I told her that I urgently needed her advice on what to do.(She claims to be a Christian, though is quite deceived with being apart of the Faith Apostolic Church [denies the Trinity, baptism essential for salvation, tongues evidence of Holy Ghost, etc.]... In retrospect, I should not as well contacted her concerning this.)She initially was very shocked, and so and so forth. I'll speed ahead.For some other background information, I am homeschooled (been for the last three months). My step-dad and I have a very bad relationship.The reason I do not want to tell my mother now concerning this is because she will honestly do nothing, while I would be dead. I know her well enough to confidently say this (concerning the former). I draw this conclusion from her history which I will not go into here.If I confront my mother concerning this, she would say that I spied on them and I would be basically in big, big trouble. Likely, I would be sent back to public schooling, and would be very much behind. (If I had to go back to school next year, [which would be a punishment] I would be going back to the ninth grade, when I should’ve been going to the 11th, so it would be disastrous.) The living condition with my mother and step-dad would be, basically, unbearable.Now, my sister has told me that I am lying by not telling my mom. She sent me a very, very aggressive e-mail saying that I must confront my mother about this and that "all liars have their part in the lake of fire," that it is of absolute necessity for me to tell her. She does not understand what the true effects this would have upon me are.I am just confused on what to do. I deleted the key-logger program and its logs because I could not deal with even looking at them anymore. So I've even lost my proof, I even had screenshots. That isn't really a big deal. If the "right" thing to do is to tell my mother, I could always just set it up again.Understand before you reply with your advice the implications this would put upon me. I would be barred from everything. I would have nothing (save Christ, of course). Is it really worth it? I understand how important truth is as a Christian, don't get me wrong. My sister says no lie is ever going to be of God no matter how small or how big or in what situation. And that all lies are of the Devil. So she says I am out just doing the Devil's business by not telling my mother. My mother doesn't deserve this. She is quite old and doesn’t have long to live. She’s been through several divorces already. She has no where else to go. She literally depends on my step-dad for economical security. Their relationship is not that bad; I observe that they are happy together. I found out from my sister (friend of my step-dad’s ex-wife) that my step-dad was divorced from his ex-wife because she found out that he was seeing other women as well. My step-dad has told my mom it’s the other way around.Sigh, my 'comfort' and 'stability' are on the line. Does, in this situation, truth matter so much that I am bound by God to tell my mom? I've found out truth I didn't want to find! Sigh! Am I responsible to it now? My mother and step-dad are not saved; if my mother was saved I know I would definitely tell her. But here, it just seems pointless to confront a dead woman about such a thing as adultery. She doesn’t really see it as a big deal, she would be mad (mostly at me), but they would work it out and I would be screwed for life.Any biblical advice anyone could give I would be very much thankful for.Jordan
