Parent Life Blues
Something that Priscilla has also been open about after they were married, “I wanted to be a mom and yet, I traveled a lot and Elvis wanted me to be with him. It was a tug of war of trying to make it all work.” Elvis’s old friend Sonny West wrote in his book Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business, “It didn’t come easy for Elvis to be a committed husband. Elvis viewed her as a mother first and a wife second, and he had hang-ups about [being intimate] with her.”

Priscilla also shared that Elvis was not totally there when it came to fatherhood duties. He was busy with his own life, and she told The Guardian: “I could not domesticate Elvis, and I accepted that.” She said that he was simply not around very often, and that he was not a “hands-on dad.”
