I too understand why your daughter is upset. However her behavior shows me that she is still very much a child and needs you to set strong boundaries for her. Would I have done the same thing in your situation? If the guy is a negative influence in her life, ABSOLUTELY. Now having said that, I would suggest sitting down with your daughter and having a rational conversation with her. Let her know that as a father it is your responsibility to look out for her, and as a grandfather you will always look out for this baby. Do this not as an authority figure, but with love and patience. If you wish to continue the relationship w/ your daughter and grandchild, you may have to make some concessions, and let her make her mistakes, however I don't think it is unreasonable for you to ask that she at least meets you halfway.
