Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustard" data-source="post: 363258" data-attributes="member: 46">The reason is that Pam had become emotionally connected to John Ross, and she thought that taking him to Sue Ellen was both the right thing to do and would help her (Pam's) morale. Instead, John Ross' absence did the exact opposite by bringing to the surface how much Pam wanted a child. Then the depression.It had been slowly building for a while, since the miscarriages (the first of which was at the end of the miniseries, Season 1 DVD), Digger dying and not being her biological father, and then the whole thing with finding Rebecca. John Ross being gone from Southfork, and no baby at Southfork, brought Pam's problems to the surface. The fact that Pam had believed the opposite would happen, i.e. that she'd feel good with taking John Ross to Sue Ellen, only made Pam's mental state worse. I think even J.R. laid off her a little bit because he could see that she was in a very bad place, though he still laid the boot in a bit anyway, confining it to some harsh words.</blockquote>
