How are they doing that exactly?

So my 18 year old niece is pregnant, always asking for money and guilting me all the time because my brother (her dad) isn’t a great dad. I feel responsible for her in some way. But the thing is, she only talks to me if she needs something, mostly money, not that I want anything from her, I guess it just hurts…I don’t have anyone to talk to about it. No friends or family to vent to, I’m feeling so useless unless I’m giving her money…

@Lillie does she have a job?

@Claire she says she does but is laid off ,I haven’t seen her in person in a few years. Idk tbh , she only started talking to me bc she’s pregnant and needs support.

Why is she not getting money from her mother? Why you?

Have you confirmed if she is really pregnant

@Angela her mother is a drug addict, probably doesn’t have any money,and her dad is deadbeat. I kinda feel responsible 😭

@Simone yes I seen her belly she’s 29weeks. My niece has a very tiny frame with a huge pregnant belly.

Well then stop giving her money, it’s that simple yes you feel guilty but it’s not your responsibility to help outside of goodness of your heart, she needs to fix up if she can’t afford a baby why is she having one ? What happens when you lose your job what then? She had to find money for herself :)
