My father was a very liberal democrat. He was active in the McGovern campaign, and even ran for office as a Democrat.
And look where his son is now.
Moral of the story: kids have wills and minds of their own
This hits the nail on the head for me. I wonder how many parents can relate to Sarah and Todd. I would think the vast majority. So many people we know have had a crisis of some kind with an adolescent child.
The Palins are handling it admirably by welcoming the father of the child and the grandchild into their family.
I don't think less of her because this happened. It speaks well of the Palins that Bristol felt she could tell them the truth rather than secretly run off to an abortion clinic.
