[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 253653, member: 47"] Nancy, being an unwed mother in my teens the pressure brought to do the "right thing" and marry was unbelievable - My family wanted to "save face" and shoot, I lived over 3,000 miles away, stories were made up so that the few times I went back home, I was divorced because it didn't work out - even was handed a wedding ring when I got off the plane to use. I opted to go it alone knowing that I already had a problem being pregnant at such a young age, I didn't need to tie myself to an abusive alcoholic for the rest of my life (and these were back in the days where just the idea was unheard of being a single parent). None of that mattered to my family, it was all about how I was portrayed to others. I can only imagine that the pressure put on Bristol by her mother was similar and a LOT had to do with her political agenda with the right wing group who would frown on a single mom/unmarried situation.
