I told my dad I’m pregnant to a guy I’ve only known for a few weeks, and he completely flipped out on me but my mom is on my side.

I told my parents I am pregnant. I know my dad is not going to be happy about the fact that I’m pregnant (19 years old), but I never thought he would flip out like he did. He told me to abort and that I am way too young to be raising a kid and he’s right, but I don’t want to do it I don’t think it’s right. He then told me I need to get married if I’m not going to abort and I sorta agree with him on this part, because my grandma will kill me if I am raising a kid out of wedlock. My mom said I don’t have to get married, she just said that if I decide to keep it, the kid needs to be financially taken care of. But the thing is the father doesn’t have a job and is just as young as I am. I’ve only known him for two months but he wants to be a part of the kid’s life and wants to marry me. I know he doesn’t have anything to offer right now but he is willing to do anything he can to help and I believe him. <br><br>I told my dad all of this and he completely flipped out on me and said I’m a complete failure and I am ruining my life. But my mom sort of took my side and said she understands I am scared now, but she just wants me to be happy, healthy and safe. My grandma who lives with us heard the whole thing and said that I need to abort because she doesn’t want a bastard running around in her house. I know she was upset about it, but I don’t want to do it. And yes, I know I am too young to be raising a kid but my choice is to keep it. I know that my relationship between my dad and me is about to get worse and my grandma will now treat me differently but I am hoping that my mom will be there for me through the whole thing because I don’t want to lose both of my parents.<br><br>UPDATE: I am not getting an abortion, my mom is helping me but my dad does not want to have anything to do with me or the baby. My grandmas said she will kick me out when the baby is born but she has no say because my parents own the house. I know things seem bad right now but I am doing okay, I am just hoping that the best for me and my baby and that my relationship between my dad and me can be repaired. Thanks for the advice.
