Help---Really need your thoughts!!!!!!!!
| Fri, 08-03-2007 - 3:05am |
My 17-year old daughter just found out she is pregnant. She is no longer with the guy she got pregnant from and they were only together a month or so.
I do not know what to think. Nor what to say to her.
I am a Christian, but I do not mind telling her she can go ahead and get an abortion. Have not said much to her because I do not know what to say. There is no room in her life or in our house for another human being and we are stretched as is.
JJ is academically brilliant, but I am afraid it is just that for now.
Am I so wrong? Can you give me your thoughts and advice if any?
I so appreciate your responses. always,
Lisa

Many hugs to all!

Hi,
I guess every Mom of a teenager wishes you the very best. I personally am not for abortion. To me it's a life and I'd do all I could to bring that life in to the world. Having said that--your daughter's life is what is most important to you naturally as a mother. If I felt making my daughter live through a pregancy woiuld harm her emotionally and psychologically--at such a young age, I couldn't make her have the baby. Although I would gladly take the baby as my own and cherish it. The point though would be my daughter's well-being. Any body can make a mistake in life. Many of us have teenage moms to thank for our very existence. Also, there is a mom in our town that had a baby as a teen and the girl who is now is a teen is the happiest child around and the Mom couldn't be more proud. Still, I would not make my daughter go through with a pregnancy. I guess being a Mom means you put your daughter's welfare first. Abortion is legal and many good women have had them. I'm not going to judge them. Stay close, God Bless, and be thankful your daughter is not one of those young college girls who has a baby, tells no one and then disposes of the baby. That happened to a lovely college girl--all because she was afraid of what her parents would say. A daughter must know her mother would help her and stand by her no matter what. That's how I feel anyway no matter how much I wanted the baby (and I would be desperate to have that child born). Still, I'd let my daughter decide and help her heal and adjust. All the best. Let us know that all turns out as well as it can...and that you survive this. You will find the way.
