This message (and that whole screenshot) confirmed for me that the Vickers women have definitely contributed to Faith's insanity. What grandma/mom, knowing that her grandaughter/daughter is across the country, pregnant and alone with a violent felon, just not pick up when the call is urgent? I can't imagine what kind of conversation is so necessary that Faith had to wait. I'm sure most grandmas, even in the middle of a stroke, would want to pick up the urgent call.
Most young women reaching puberty get more than the "Oh, you're now a woman!" talk. A good mother/older female will drive home how they're the more vulnerable party in a relationship because they'll be the ones carrying the child. Usually they'll talk about how girls have to be vigilant because at the end of the day, if you're not ready to start a family, the baby will be
your burden. The man always shirks responsibility. They say trust no man's word. By the time a girl is 18 this would have been reinforced for around 5 or 6 years. In this, Mama Vickers has clearly failed. Even hood rats ask their daughters to get IUDs.
Mama Vickers is why Faith was baby-crazy. Daddy Vickers is why she chose Ralph.
I know Faith has been home-schooled for a portion of high school. Has she not seen pregnant girls on campus? I bet she partook in side-eying the 15/16/17 year old girls that are 8 months pregnant walking around. What made her think at 19 people wouldn't look at her any different? She's going to find herself very isolated. If she has female friends her age, they won't want to hang out with her. They'll be busy with school, work, and messing around. Even if Faith gets her parents to watch the baby, her friends will still use Faith as an example of "well, I least I haven't fucked up my life
that bad" and every interaction will have a twinge of pity. She'll be able to feel them lording over her. If she joins a regular mother/child play date group, she's going to meet women who are married, settled in life with a career, and wanting to start a family. These women might be almost 10 years older than her and will not be able to relate to Faith an she'll be wondering about where her life would've been is she had made different choices. If Faith joins a support group for fellow teen moms, she's going to run across the same type of mental illness that she has. There might be one or 2 in the group who are really trying to turn their lives around. They could be an inspiration to Faith or more likely, it'll be a crabs in a bucket situation.
Either way, sub-100 IQ white trash drama is all the same. It's always people having no impulse control and dealing with the consequences after.
