Sometimes you have to make those hard decisions

Okay. I just received an email from my son, the one that just had an baby with his GF. He is 18 and living with her parents after deciding to leave our home. He tells me that they are gonna throw him out Saturday if he doesn't get a job. Don't know how they expect him to find one in 3 days, but okay. He basically was asking me if they all three can move in with us. I told him he could, but not all three. We can not financially support them, we are barely making ends meet as well with just the two of us. Plus, we have no room for them or beds, etc. We had to sell alot of our stuff last month when my husband was down with work just to pay our bills and make it. After I tell him this, he emails me back and tells me he will be living on the streets then. They are not married and he is on the birth certificate as being the baby's father. I feel the best thing is for him to move back in here, figure out visitation schedule for the baby and get on his feet to where he can take care of them. He will not get that there with them. They will not help him. But, he doesn't see it that way. He sees it as breaking up the family. I see it as a way to get him where he needs to be. Part of me feels bad, but i also feel we did the right thing. Just hate to see him struggle like this and our granddaughter in the mix. But, he has to learn the hard way. I pray this will open his eyes finally. What would you do this situation? Would you do the same thing we are?
