"Filling In" - July 14th 2011, 07:21 AM

Ok, so, one of my friends who basically was my best friend in High School. Got abused and became pregnant at 16. She recovered, and found a boy friend that loved both her and her daughter. I always tried to help them, whenever I could by giving them money for food, clothes, bills, etc. Well she is 19 now. She dropped out Senior year, working at various low end jobs, etc.

He, worked at some Auto-body shop that his father owned, and he didn't do any work at all (I used to work here, myself) and always got paid no matter what. However, she is 19 and now pregnant again. I am wondering, what the best coarse of action. I've always supported her financially and morally. But only as a friend. I just... really don't know what to do.

Any advice? Please?

EDIT: Generally, I posted this for advice on her Daughter, and her child that's on the way.

The best course of action for you is to be there as a friend. She needs to make a decision on what she wants to do with her unborn child. You can't make that choice for her. If you feel as if you don't want to help her financially anymore, don't do so. You aren't obligated to do that. Her boyfriend, whom this child will belong too anyway, should be making the money and bringing it in to support that family that he chose. You can help her make a decision, but you can't force your opinions on her. She needs to make the decisions about her children on her own.
