[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am crushed and ashamed that my 23 y/o daughter is pregnant. My young, unmarried, "from a Christian home" daughter is pregnant. [b]This is just the worst thing that could have happened.[/b] Her mother died when she was young, and I feel like this is all my fault. She's been with her foreign boyfriend for a year and I've met him zero times. My daughter just finished grad school and was supposed to start teaching this fall. Her boyfriend has a nice career. They want to marry. I'm shocked my daughter admitted to planning to have the baby.

My brother suffered a serious accident at 21, he is lucky to have survived- but he is not able to have children of his own, and has struggled to have normal romantic relationships due to his disability. Please put things in perspective here, it is not what you want to have happened, you have valid concerns about your daughters future- BUT this is in no way that worst thing that could have happened to her, once you can get that hopefully you can move on to dealing with this in a way that can actually help your daughter.

I get the feeling she has had to navigate a lot of this on her own, since you said you felt responsible for this somehow with the death of her mother at a young age. You can't have decided to be hands off with her on certain topics and then still get to be ashamed of her and think that is fair, you know that right?[/quote]
