I moved to Texas two years ago after living in New England for all of my 50 years. Texas is a beautiful state and the ways of some Texans should not distract from that. There are Texans who think that their way of life is the only viable alternative.

You and you husband are doing the right thing by supporting your daughter during this time of crisis. She may come to her senses when she realizes that she is loved unconditionally. If you abandon her now she may decide she has no reason to pull her life together. There are some Texans who call themselves Christians who would recommend complete rejection of your child. Jesus himself would advise you to show this woman that you love her and will do anything to lift her out of this terrible situation. There are plenty of Texans who would agree. Showing love for your daughter is the right thing to do. Any true Christian would agree.
