Caroline, a 19-year-old college student, returned home to tell her parents she was pregnant. Her father, Daniel, remained calm, but her mother, Alice, reacted with anger and disbelief. Caroline explained, “I’m pregnant… I’m going to take a year off from school.” Alice demanded that she abort the baby, shouting, “You have to get rid of that baby!” Despite Caroline’s protests, Alice refused to accept her decision, kicking her out of the house.

Daniel, recalling similar circumstances when they had Caroline, chose to support his daughter. He rented an apartment for them and soon filed for divorce, unable to reconcile with Alice’s behavior. Daniel assured Caroline she had his full support, and they began a new life together.

Alice, left alone and filled with regret, realized she had lost everything—her family, her home, and her chance to know her grandson. “All because she couldn’t accept the choices I made for my life,” Caroline explained, cutting off contact with her mother, who now lived with the consequences of her actions.
