How could she?

I'm not sure what made me think of this today, but out of the blue I recalled an incident from over four years ago that I overheard while in labor.  We could overhear the anguish of a very young-sounding young woman, probably a teenager.  With her was, presumably, her mother, who, instead of comforting her, chose that as her moment to say, "Well, I guess you shouldn't have gotten yourself into this situation." 

If I were ever in that mother's position with my own daughter, I'm sure I would be heartbroken that her choice to become sexually active, presumably without birth control, would be changing her life trajectory in ways I would never have wished for her.  However, when someone is in the throes of giving birth, you need to be supportive or get out.  Seriously. 

Today I found myself wondering what happened to that young woman, her baby, and her relationship with her mother.
