To me.
I sincerely hope all of you can work it out for the better.
I wish you all courage.
Thankyou.
This was the sort of thing I thought happened to other people. I began doubting our abilities as parents, but littlun needs our support & she will get that, in spades.
We will face this as a family, she may not have a partner, but she has a family that loves her.
This is the crux of the whole thing. Sticking together and supporting each other will carry you through this.
As you say, worse things can happen to people and with your support your daughter will get through this as well. Time changes everything so who knows what this young man's thoughts are come August. His reaction may not be what you want at the moment but he's young. He might just need a little more time to process this situation. If he has a good heart, he'll come around I'm sure. If not, your daughter is surrounded by a family that cares about her.
