I feel your concern and your confusion. As a parent of a daughter myself, I have to say it can be scary and aggravating as well. My wife and I had a scare just like this about a year ago with our daughter. Thankfully it was a negative test result. I say this only because the relationship she was in was not a healthy one and it ended soon afterward. My advice to you is simply this; Ask yourself how Jesus would handle it. You can't blame yourself or wonder what went wrong in raising your daughter, you'll only drive yourself crazy. The best thing you can do is accept what can not be reversed and be supportive as best as you can. I know it won't be easy, but God is with you and can help you in times when the answers are not easy to find. We are all given the freedom of choice by God. What we do with that freedom can often lead to problems, especially if we make decisions based on emotion. Your daughter made her choice and now you have to cope with it. Just love her like Jesus would. She is going to need your support in the months to come. Be in prayer about this issue. God can and will provide the answers you need. Show compassion and love in this matter. We all make mistakes and we have to deal with the repercussions in one way or another. I feel if you rely upon God and have faith in Him to help you through all of this, you will be just fine. I know the thought of being a grandparent can be intimidating, but I would try to see it like this: It's an opportunity to share God's love with your daughter as she brings the blessing of new life into your family. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope this helps you cope. I would love to have you as a friend on here and invite you to add me as a friend. God Bless!
