  If you blame yourself, you'd fall in a depressive spiral. There's nothing you could have done to steer that girl off what she intended doing if she didn't have conscience to, self-love, to self-drive, or to spot your hard work and struggles.
  I do mean, you could whip her, shout, weep, "bring Jesus Himself" down, and she'd never have listened! On the flip side, if she went through this, the lessons might alter her outlook.
  
  Take care of your mental health, develop stubbornness to negativity and failure and think positively. Love the girl and keep her even closer and never for once think it's the end. Everyone's story isn't the same. Write yours, and keep being objective.

  I wish I could connect and support. I don't know where you are or live, but you can reach out to the legon interdenominational church (on legon campus) where such support exists without judgement. It is not your fault dear dad; don't blame yourself. The lord says even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil - he is with you. No pregnancy termination will erase the situation (don't abort). In fact, it is murder. Support your daughter through these difficult moments. Look for the young man she got involved in and trace his parents and ensure the child has a legitimate father; it is important for your daughter and grandchild's future. In ALL THINGS, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. All will be well. Once she delivers, she can go back to school and become who she wants to be and make you proud.

  Don't take it too hard on yourself. In bringing up our children, let's add Godly Council. Please, let her not terminate the pregnancy, she must understand, there are consequences to every action. Allow her to make her own mistakes, navigate life through them. Mind you, you can't live life for her.
  
  It is well.

  Your daughter is simply corrupt and she does not have a defined vision for her future. Put all your hope and heart in her at your own risk. Abortion is not an option. The best you can do for her now is to allow her have that baby now and assist her to continue her education later after childbirth. Let her have a defined vision for her future and a laid down plan to achieve that vision.
