Please pray hard that we find the wisdom to deal with this. Dh blew up and has been crying and crying. She is my step daughter and I am not sure how to stand by him on this.
mummy2girls replied: Oh Geez Mel, i am so sorry to hear this. WOW... Im not sure what i would do either. I always say to myself what i would do but you truely don't really know until it happens. Major prayers for you guys and for your hubby as well... do you know if she is planning on keeping it or giving the baby away?
cameragirl21 replied: I will certainly keep you and your family in my prayers, Mel. When you say your hands are tied, Idk if you mean that there is a decision to be made here or if there is only one conclusion and it's none of my business so I will just say that if there is a decision to be made here, I hope it's one that your whole family will be ok with and if there is only one conclusion here then I hope your family will get through this and that good things will come out of it, and that is what I'll be praying for. Take care.
My2Beauties replied: Mel I am so sorry hon for you to have to be dealing with this, I'm sorry for the whole entire family. You seem like a strong family and I hope and pray that everything turns out ok, whatever decision you guys may make. Please know you're in my thoughts.

Crystalina replied: The family HAS to stay strong and together no matter what decision is made. My sister got pg at 15, had her son at 16 and at the time it was a MAJOR family crisis. Both sides came together. Austin is now 16 himself and my sister has added 7 more to her brood. She's married to a doctor and is a great RN. I think the best thing was that the family didn't break and we all came together to help instead of hinder (not saying you will hinder...just saying).
Prayers are with you all and especially your dh and step-daughter. It's going to be a tough way no matter which way you go but it's not the end of the road. I'm sure it feels like it is.
MommyToAshley replied: My sister also had her first child very young, at age 16. I think my Dad was the most crushed at first as we were both Daddy's girls. My sis later married the father of the baby after high school and they now have three beautiful children together. And, my Dad adores all the grandchildren, I think the key was the support from my Mom and the rest of the family. It won't be easy, but it will all work out.
Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way.

Danalana replied: I'm sure it's tough, and I can't imagine how I would handle it. I do know that she needs support and love right now...unconditional love and acceptance. I'm sure the hardest part for a father is seeing his little girl as a sexually active woman. I can't imagine that any father wants to think of his child that way. I agree with the others--everything will work out, as long as the family stays strong and together. She is going to need help, that's for sure. As far as how you stand by your DH, I really don't know. I guess all you can do is encourage him to not alienate her and to still show her love, as he always has.
Cassie replied: You'll all be in my prayers. I was in her place not so long ago. I made real big mistakes but am living proof that with faith God can take what seems like a huge mistake and turn it into something wonderful.
coasterqueen replied: ((HUGS)) Keep the family together and let her make the decision as to what she is going to do with her future. Don't force one decision on her or another. I've been there and my parents weren't supportive - they forced decisions upon me.
Your family is in my thoughts.
