Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustard" data-source="post: 385910" data-attributes="member: 46">Pam and Miss Ellie tried to stop the Battle for Ewing Oil from happening. They warned that it would be disastrous for the family. J.R. and Bobby fought against them and won.Now, just look at how fast things changed at Southfork from the time when Cliff was in the hospital after his suicide attempt (i.e. before Jock's will had been read) compared to less than a season later when Pam left Southfork, and then later the chain of events that led to the Mickey Trotter tragedy. After Pam left Southfork that season, she didn't return to live there until Season 10 DVD. The Battle for Ewing Oil devoured so much the Ewing family dynamic, which even J.R. admitted, as he saw that Rebecca's death would also mean that much of the Wentworth fortune would be left to Cliff.Put yourself in Pam's shoes. She did everything to stop the Battle for Ewing Oil from happening. Her husband Bobby plows on with it, and the whole battle was disastrous. Pam didn't intend it as the end of their marriage at that point when she left Southfork. The end of the marriage was caused by Katherine's actions later on, with some help from J.R. Pam just needed to get away to be by herself in order to think, and she blamed Bobby for much of what had happened when it needn't have happened.</blockquote>
