His ex-wife wanted to kick her out if she decided to keep her baby, but this good dad refused to abandon his teenage daughter, even if it meant risking his new girlfriend.

When a teenager gets pregnant, her parents are suddenly in an odd position. Still young themselves, nobody in their 40s is mentally prepared to become a grandparent, but ultimately, the health, happiness, and safety of your own child come first and foremost. Regardless of what your teen decides, a good parent needs to support and be there for them as much as possible, hoping to build the village required to raise that tiny new family member. However, when this man’s ex-wife learned of her daughter’s surprise pregnancy, she immediately threatened to kick them out. 

Distraught and overwhelmed, the girl ran straight to dad’s house, into his arms, and under his roof for refuge. And over the next 9 stressful months, this dad was the most wonderful, supportive parent that he could be. Ignoring family pressure and setting the record straight with his own live-in girlfriend, this dad prioritized his daughter, her boyfriend, and their future baby together. In a wholesome update, this man recalls the greatest decision of his life: Being there for his teenager when she needed him most, celebrating a newborn and a new son-in-law as a result.
