Well folks, my wife and I are having a huge struggle right now with a lot of guilt and depression. We found out last night that our 16-year-old daughter is pregnant. This is still hard to comprehend and last night was filled with lots of drinking, talking and crying. This is the hardest thing I have ever dealt with in my life and if you guys could send some up for us it would be greatly appreciated!

Tim my wife and I will be praying for you, your wife, your daughter, your whole family.Originally Posted by Tim_T
Don't get caught up in the guilt. The important thing is to make sure your daughter knows of your love and acceptance for who 'SHE' is. You can not make decisions for her, only LOVE her. Make sure she knows it.
You are in our prayers....

Tim T,
I will send prayers for all of you.
I want you to know I have not experienced this but I think most everyone has probably been lucky it did not happen to us or to our daughters. I know this seems like a huge problem but believe me it could be so much worse; She could be on meth or other drugs she could be an alcoholic etc.
I found out a friend's daughter is an alcoholic and tried to commit suicide. I assure you today a 16 year old being pregnant is not as bad as it initially sounds. Love her unconditionally and give that new wonderful baby all your love and it will be a blessing.
Do not feel depressed or guilty accept the hand you have been dealt and make the best of it.
I think I can say we all support you, your wife and daughter and we can be a support team.
Good luck

I wouldn't let it get you down too bad,it's not the first time it's ever happened.
My brother ended up married to his pregnant girlfriend at that age and has been for 36 years,makes a good living for Norfolk Southern RR and has 3 children and 2 grandchildren.
I know it's too late now,but others can learn from this also,my wife put our daughter on birthcontrol at 15 even though she wasn't having sex yet,but nomatter how much you don't want it to happen it will,sooner or later.I kept my nose out of it the best I could and it worked out for the best.
Anyway I'll send a little prayer up for your family that all will work out as it should.

Prayers are out for your family here for peace and understanding. Two years ago my stepson and his girlfriend (still in high school) announced to my wife and I that we had a baby coming....like you guys, my wife and I were frustrated and wrought over this news. I am going upstairs in a few minutes to enjoy some quality time with my grandson.....a lot of adjustments had to be made..but I wouldn't take anything for this little guy.

Tim, prayers sent from a father of two girls 14 and 9. As said above love her unconditionally, she's just told you the toughest thing in her life and I'm sure scared to death. Things happen for a reason, hang in there buddy...Chuck
