My daughter was just fourteen when she came home to her boyfriend one night and gently asked us to sit down.
As soon as I saw his face, I knew something was really wrong.
His hands were shaking.
Her boyfriend was pale.
Neither of us was able to look us in the eye.
Then my daughter whispered three words that made my heart stop:
“I am pregnant.
For several seconds, the room was completely silent.
It was hard for me to breathe.
But my husband reacted immediately.
He got up from the chair so abruptly that it scraped the floor. Then he pointed to the door At first with finger and shouted:
— Sal of my house!
My daughter broke down in tears immediately.

I begged you to calm down.
I told her that she was still our daughter, that she was scared and that whatever mistakes had been made, she would only make the situation worse.
