Report: Bristol Palin and Fiancé Split
TODAY ^ | 03.11.09 | STAFF

Posted on 03/11/2009 3:47:01 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay

The pair, parents to 2-month-old son Tripp, broke up 'a few weeks ago'

Bristol Palin and her fiancé Levi Johnston have broken up, two sources tell PEOPLE.

The split happened "a few weeks ago," according to a source close to the couple, but it's unclear what precipitated it. "It was a mutual thing," adds the source.

"It kind of just happened," says the source, referring to the split. "I thought they would stick it out. But I think they can work together to raise Tripp."

Despite the breakup, Levi still sees the couple's son. Levi's dad, Keith Johnston, told PEOPLE recently that his son is a devoted and "proud father."

Bristol, meanwhile, is attending Wasilla High, taking a class to supplement course work she is completing at home. She also is considering enrolling in college next fall and studying nursing.

Could you please tell me exactly the words I used that offended you?

I’m sincerely asking.

I do not “wish her to fail”.
I am very interested in establishing
the best possible conservative
candidate who can defeat those I
believe will destroy my country.
I have said before that in spite of
Palin’s many positives, she will not
succeed on the national stage, and
part of that is because of the poor
handling of this situation with her daughter.
You can just stick your tongue out or you can
explain to me how I am wrong.

You don’t sound like a very happy person. Nor do you seem to be at peace with your decision.

I have no problem with the Govt./State taking children away from “unfit” parents. The problem, as it is being presented by some of the posts, is that being a single parent makes you “unfit” by definition.

This is clearly untrue and totally unsubstantiated. Being single, for some parents, may make it tougher and rougher to raise a child/children. But, in and of itself, being single does not mean you are unfit or incapable of raising said child/children.

“Unfit” as it pertains to removal of children from a home has a broader definition and is a legal/criminal term. “Unfit” as it is being thrown around here on this thread is a subjective term and is defined by opinion.

They just announced it on Fox. It happened a couple of months ago, according to Fox, when Bristol referred to Levi’s family as “white trash.”

And are you saying that an adoptive parent cannot love a child the way a birth parent can? Really?

Apparently they can, if you can marry the father and still give your baby away so it won’t be “live in poverty”.

Boy some of you paint with a broad brush. Look, I’m glad giving up your child was the right thing for you but it isn’t for everyone.

For many years my now teenager and I were on our own and we did just fine. We were in a church with a large singles group, and the men there banded together to mentor our sons and did a great job. I started a business out of my home, and was doing so well that I already owned a home when I met my husband.

My husband adopted our teenager and we have another child together. My son is a well adjusted, happy, Christian, homeschooled, bright boy.

I realize there are situations where the mom is not fit to raise her child but that is NOT true of everyone. The fact that my son’s bio father didn’t choose to be in our lives did not make me an unfit parent!!!

By the high road, I meant that I made the decision even if it did not come to fruition. I think people are assuming a lot.

No, I don't think people are assuming anything....you led them there by this statement:

"I sat in that position. Where it was giving up my baby to a great couple or keeping her for poverty."

I don’t think anyone is arguing that single parents are by definition unfit, but rather that committed married parents, either natural OR adoptive are preferable.

That being the case, it is the traditional judgment of our society that a single woman pregnant will best serve her child by finding it suitable married adoptive parents if a committed marriage of her own is not an immediately likely prospect.

This isn’t my own “meanspirited” arbitrary “priggery;” this was the common sense of fifty years ago.

What is your point?
Would it not have been better
to at least try to make the child
legitimate?
If the marriage had then failed,
how would that have been worse?

“I think I'm seeing 10 times the anti-Palin stories here than over on the DU.”

Its the culture of the people today. They love scandal even if its about one of their own, which is why the stupid reality TV programs have a huge audience. I wish that when one of these scandalous Palin stories are posted here it would last for a few comments and be gone, but nooooo. This ones good for at least 200 post. Sad, aint it?

Bristol Palin is just another single mom, the outcomes for which are disastrous for mother, child, and society. If Sarah Palin wanted to make a statement about family values, as she did with Trig, Bristol’s baby should be placed with adoptive parents.

Each situation is a case by case situation. This was about Bristol and Levi. In their case, Bristol keeping the baby might be for the best.

My husband has a relative. She was in an abusive relationship and got pregnant. Her dad said, "You'll have a tough life." Her mom and other relatives helped her out. Within a year, she and her boyfriend from high school were back together, they were married, and they have since had two other children together, and her husband is very successful. I know she is glad she kept her baby.

Not every situation can be painted with a broad brush.

Nope, after the wheels were in motion to find parents, we got married. Sorry if I stated it wrong.

By the high road, I meant that I made the decision even if it did not come to fruition. I think people are assuming a lot.

I don't think anyone is assuming a lot. No one could read what you wrote and not think you put your child up for adoption and that someone other than you was raising your child.

Don’t you think that Preborn babies are babies?

I do.
