I was only a few years out of the womb, back in ‘62, but I would guess women in her (Abused Spouse) situation had very few options to chose from back then. This doesn’t justify the abandonment of her children, but may explain it, somewhat.
This is way back when most lower to middle class women would consider it a career achievement to be a shift cashier at the Piggly Wiggly or learn Greg Shorthand, how to type over 50 words a minute and become a Secretary for a doctor or lawyer.
There were no support groups for teen mothers, even the married ones, unless the groups were Church organized.
Did she even have a Driver’s License? Having become a busy Mom at 15 or 16, maybe not.

No, but it sounds like he may have been justifiably sick of her crap.

Familiar with the case. Not HAPPY that she left the kids behind. But, she was a kid, herself at the time. Married at 15? Yikes.
Before I got married at 19 my Dad said, ‘You can MARRY him, but you’re going to have to finish RAISING him!’
Truer words were never spoken! Miss You, Dad! :)

The “abusive man” defense excuses many crimes.
Sometimes, it’s true.

Ain’t that always the case? ;)
P.S. Paul Simon does not deserve Edie Brickell.

Did he grow up to be something? Or did you fail to come through for you dad?

You don’t really make sense.
You initially criticized her for leaving, but now seem to say it’s good she left because they became free of “her crap.”

Paul Simon does not deserve Edie Brickell. I don't know. They might really deserve each other. He sure can pick 'em: Shelley Duvall, Carrie Fisher, and then Edie Brickell.
