Current Talk '08 II / Re: Vicki's Mother
« on: October 17, 2008, 07:57:51 PM »People do things in haste and when they are younger that they wouldn't do later on when they have matured. Liz may have been a different person at a younger age.You make a good point Joeytrom. Elizabeth went thru some life altering times.
Including the huge one of [spoiler]thinking she killed her husband.[/spoiler] Giving birth, marriage,
death of a parent - all these could have a huge effect on a person.
Also, we must not forget at the time of Vicki's birth giving birth out of wedlock would
effect both the mother and the child. Both would be social outcasts.
And I don't mean just not being invited to parties. Finger pointing, whispers,
name calling - Collinsport is a small town.
Giving up such a child would be looked on then as for the child's own good. And who
is say what the leaving of Vicki on the doorstep was like. We don't know what the
weather or temps were like, how well bundled she was, if someone watched for the
door to be opened, or made sure that someone would be at the door by ringing a bell
or knocking.
