A story:
I employed this woman who wanted to be a model. At the time, I was modeling and I was asked by my home town to put together a fashion show for the chamber of commerce and their annual fundraiser. ( I also had to dance.)
This young woman, my age, became a friend, she was a hard worker and friendly.
She had a man whom she loved deeply. A relationship of three years with an engagement.
Finally she got an interview with a top modeling agency in L.A., her dream.
She also found out she was pregnant.
She struggled with the decision she had to make and she decided to abort the child because of the interview and to follow her dream. This was not her fiance's choice, he wanted the baby.
She went to the interview and passed most of their needs, but, she was ONE inch too short and they sent her home, "sorry, no contract."
I already had a baby by the way...
She came home destroyed because they rejected her. Her relationship died for obvious reasons.

Last I saw her, she was married to a man in Scortsdale, a lawyer, and she was a mother, of three, and a body builder.
She was not the same happy, hopeful person.
She told me, "I never did much with my modeling."

There you have it. You are a mother, in this case, it was a baby concieved in love, or you are ambitious beyond seeing beyond yourself.

Your DIL is really breaking her own heart and ruining her career...
