I really need help from the fathers out there. -

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I feel like this is the best place.
But many people know me of old from this forum, and they know I'm usually a sensible logical person when it comes to most things in life. However I'm in a huge hole at the moment, and I desperately need some advice and support.
Well, I'm going to be a father. Not of choice, but it's no longer in my power. My GF doesn't want to abort, and I won't force her. I can't run from it, however much I would want to, but I have to take responsibility for this and somehow make it work.
I'm 20, and my GF is 19. We're both in the first year of University, and my parents don't agree to the child. They want to pull me out of University and make me subscribe to a Uni in London instead of my current which is in Wales. Basically, it was a "if you have this child, you lose your family."
I've come to realise that I need to help look after this child, but I can't help but feel I've lost feelings for my GF at the same time. I've now gotten to the point where I have taken it in stride, and am living with the fact that I have to be a father.
But I still can't help but feel like I've lost everything. My family, my life, my dreams.
Are there any fathers out there, that have had the same experiences? Or even just some tips, or any help?
