Q: Helping pregnant daughter

I'm a mother 40 years old and have 2 girls. Oldest one just turned 18 years old and a 13 year old. I've had 2 bad abusive relationships, with both of my girls father and put my girls through alot. The 18 year old is now living with her boyfriend because she got in trouble with the law and I had nowhere for her to stay and I agreed that if she finished school and do things like get a career and make something of herself, she could stay with his family(which I should of never did). She has not finish high school, never worked and her boyfriend and her are always in fights. Yesterday I just found out she's pregnant and wants to keep it. She stuck on the idea that it will help her relationship to get stronger. I've tried to talk to her about the pros and cons of this decision.Because I've went through the same thing and she lived it, why would she think it would be different? She has no future for herself, no diploma. no GED, the man is stubborn, both have anger problems and she's ttraumatis from the abusive relationships I've had. What can I do to stop this from happening? Please help me, she's going to be another welfare barefoot and pregnant statistic with an absive relationship!!!

sometimes the school of hard knocks is a good humbler, you existed through this in a different age how did it work for you. I don't have any life experience in this situation only to say that when my troubles seemed monsterous I realised that turning to God & asking him to take control of my life & the life of those that were affected or involved & guide us to do his will & accept the result for what ever reason He might have, it always turns out for the best when we surrender! my prayers today are for your pain & the best result to prevail!
God Bless you loving, careing mom!
