Advice?

Im in a kind of an odd position and need some advice..First off this is about me (male) and my ex (female) who I have a 3 year old daughter with.I live in alabama, and most of you know that this place isn't the most accepting of things as most of the rest of the world. Me and my ex were together in high school and had a kid together and we did fine until we (mostly me) made a few mistakes life wise jobs and the such. We split and things between us were rocky to say the least mainly because I was very immature and didn't want to accept responsibility.Now fast forward 4 years into the past, we got together and broke up a few times during the 4 years it never really worked it just didn't seem right I was having trouble finding a job and I finally did it and got arrested with the help of my ex (not going to go into detail just saying it could have been avoided) and had to spend a week in jail which was a huge reality check.. I dropped all my friends (they were all bad influences) and got my shit together and got a job and have been pretty stable and a healthy lifestyle, I dont drink, smoke weed, and I quit cigs.My ex who lost her job at the same time I got my job for failing a drug test for pot (not a big deal I have no problem with weed as I used to smoke it on a daily basis but I do know it is illegal and losing your job over it is really dumb) tells me she has been dating another girl and that they broke up shes moving back in with her parents and is going through a bad time. Also I just learned shes dating another girl and is partying alot and making ALOT of bad decisionsHeres where the advice part comes into play 1. She is known for self destructing and being extremely bi polar and hard to deal with, is it possible that this is a cry for help? Im not very informed on these types of situations and I have no problem with her decision to date another girl if that makes her happy. 2. The rest of my family (and her family) isnt as understanding as me, and are pretty avid church goers and hate homosexuality, they have both came to me asking for me to talk to her and ask her to stop? Im not sure what they meant but honestly I dont care all I care about is my 4 year old daughter being brought into a shit storm of family clashing against each other.I may have said it before but I will say it again, I have no problem with people being gay I dont like labels, but I know its a pretty big controversy where I live right now and Im a little confused as to my next steps.me personally I dont date right now because I know I am not in the position yet to bring someone into my life.
