I just watched Mad Men now. Draper's mother was a prostitute who died in childbirth. After she died he was brought to his father and his father's wife. After his father died he was raised by his stepmother and her new husband.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

It really wasn't much that we already didn't know. I'm more surprised to see Don admitting it, rather than seeing it in flashback.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay.
It's interesting to think what societal pressures must have been in place in the era for the wife to stay with the husband, even with a physical sign of his infidelity.
Although, it does seem like it would have been difficult to prove who fathered a prostitute's child at that time. No DNA tests. Seems like young Dick would have just ended up in a foundlings home.

She was also a "good christian woman". She wouldn't have wanted the child to suffer for her husband's perfidity.

Damages: wow. So - are they suggesting that Patty tried to kill Ellen?
What did Ellen do to make Patty want to kill her?
Or are they suggesting that Patty killed David?
