Ordinary people from all walks of life have in the past lived in a bubble losing sight of themselves.

He should of been charged for starters.
Hey Mercwave
I watched her interview on British Talk Show and she said"“I lived his life, you didn’t live your own life, so you kind of lost yourself,” . “I didn’t have my teenage years as a normal girl obviously so I had to adapt, and I did adapt, I just followed.”confused
Hi wave

Yes we adapt the best way we know how to.
She went on to admit that she didn’t realize she had lost her identity until Elvis left on tour and she began taking dance classes to help pass the time until his return.
She found herself living inside a bubble, as she describeshmmm
She should lay the blame at her parents.
Why so Merc?confused
If you're a parent you should know.
laugh lol of course Merc....I thought there was an issue between her mom/parents.thumbs up hug
“I did not divorce him because I didn’t love him, he was the love of my life, but I had to find out about the world,” she said.
hmmm
For those of you who think Priscilla's parents are at fault, I don't know what you think they are at fault for but this is an excerpt from the link below.

You'll see that her mother didn't want her to have anything to do with Elvis but her father did. Her father was a Navy pilot. When Elvis met Priscilla he was in the Army in Germany.

“I’ll never forget it,” Priscilla said, adding that Paul was not too keen on her dating Elvis at first. “My father said, ‘Absolutely not!’ My mother said, ‘I won’t let you walk across the street to see Elvis Presley!’ I knew this was going to be a battle.” When Elvis wanted to see Priscilla again, she recalled that her father “interrogated” her. “He wanted to know, ‘What happened the first night? Why does he want to see you again?'” Priscilla then revealed that Elvis came to her house “in full uniform” to speak to her parents. “He came absolutely decked out in white gloves, hat, everything! Already he won my father over! They talked for an hour and a half,” she said. Our thoughts are with Priscilla and her family as they mourn Paul’s passing."


S.A.wave
Thanks for that info.,I do hope that whoever think otherwise would be cleared onthumbs up wine
Hello YSA,

That would make sense...what an informative lesson to share. It sounds like one should discover who they are...if possible I suppose...before getting involved in a relationship where you are subservient.

wave
hey Johnny hope you feel better nowpizza
I feel her in this and it is hard to have a crippling loneliness leaving no choice but to leave Elvis in order to find herselfsigh wave
If anyone doesn't find a man interested in a 14 year old girl then you all have serious issues..Don't bloody make excuses for a man who is worshiped..If it was anyone else you would all be foaming at the mouth.
Merc you are right in your own opinion thumbs up
hug
Merc, I was 16 years old when I met my husband-to-be. I married him four years later. I didn't have to marry him. That was in 1962.
Yep we all walk different paths in life, we adjust and then readjust, that's life. teddybear
I agree EX and even in the course/journey of married life we are still adjustingthumbs up hug wave
Im with Mercedes on this one. Any man that looks at a 14 year old with desire has something wrong with him.
Low class does, as lower class is. Keep posting, M. Don't ever stop. The drunken male Mattie culture has met its female match.
I was looking at it from her perspective....but, Merc...I do agree...14 is very young.
I'm sure Elvis met thousands of women of all ages.
How old was Priscilla, when they actually started dating ?
Secretagent. You left words out of what I said. I didn't know your husband but was he with you when you were 14? My daughter is 14 and I can assure you if and older man came to my house and told me he wants a relationship with my daughter I would go straight to the police and report him. I would not care less if he was my best friend.
In response to your question asking if he was with me when I was 14.....

I mentioned in two posts that I was 16 years old
Secret my post wasnt for you 16 isnt 14 you left out the words" with desire" out.
Im sure you husband was fantastic and you do not need to justify yourself with me.
You're right, he didn't desire me. He wanted someone who was pure and that I definitely was.

I apologize for leaving out that word. It wasn't intentional handshake santa waving
