Wow, sounds like LA in the 70's except for the giving birth part, she'd have aborted.
She didn’t get custody.
I have to say that I’m really shocked at how many people I meet here look like they stepped right out of Deliverance.
But to be fair, it’s because all income levels rub shoulders in these rural areas. We all shop at Wal-Mart (though Amazon is changing that) and we mix pretty much everywhere else.
When I lived in the Seattle area, I’d go to music in the park on Mercer Island. Little mixing there. That’s why they allowed alcohol. And I belonged to the Cascade Bicycle club. Same thing. I did find myself in some “seedy” places from time to time.
