First off Id like to say hello to everyone. So HELLO! I would love some input on my situation from anyone. And Im going to try to make it short and sweet. Ok. I have a ten yr old daughter who I have raised on my own since she was 1. Her father is not around. Her and I have always been really really close. I have been dating the same man for four years now and just found out I was pregnant. We were planning this so its not a suprise. My daughter knew eventually that this would happen but was never fond of the idea. I told her last week I am pregnant and she acts devastated. Horrified and mad at me. She says mean things to the baby growing inside me and made it very clear that she wants to stay a only child. Ok. all of this is understandable. But also I want to get married to the father of the unborn child and this is going to be another devastating blow to my daughter. I actually thinking about not getting married so my daughter doesnt grow up hating me. Any advice on what to do. ? I know she has a right to feel the way she does but will it pass? Or am I ruining my relationship with my ten year old. She seems heartbroken

Please some helpful advice?

Thank you bunches who ever replies
