Pamela’s miscarriage

Comment:

Hi, let me start by saying I love Alice, it’s my favorite series of all time! I have to be honest when I say that Pamela was one of my favorite characters because she was so shameless and she always found a way to shock Elizabeth and Alice with as much as she knew about boys and sex. We all know that Pamela got pregnant at 17 and she expressed to her friends many times that she didn’t want to have kids but was there a small part of her that wanted to have that baby? Was a part of her sad when she miscarried or was she relieved all together? Why did she break up with Tim after the miscarriage?

I’d have to find the book and read it again to answer your questions and I simply don’t have time.  I’m in the middle of writing a very long novel and can barely take time to keep this blog going, so the reading is on you.  I think that Pamela was very relieved to have miscarried.  She did not want children then, and as I remember it, she did not want them later.  So she was true to herself.  She probably was not terribly in love with Tim to begin with, but felt that if she were pregnant she would need his support.  Once the miscarriage was over, she needed a guy who would be as careful NOT to get her pregnant as she was going to have to be herself.
