More Palin family secrets from one who once helped to keep them.

"Okay seriously who is talking to him?"

To start off with I actually sent my source a list of some of the questions that all of you had left in the comments section here at IM.

I did not send everything as that might prove a little overwhelming, but I did send the ones that were suggested the most and that I thought she might know something about.

Here they are as I sent them, with her responses which came first in written form and then were fleshed out over the phone:

1) Do you know whether Sarah has a college diploma?

To this my source answered that she has always been told that Palin had received a degree in journalism but never saw any proof to support that claim. 

2) Have you ever heard the family talk about whether or not Todd is Track's biological father?

To this she answered that she had never heard anything about Todd not being Track's father, though she did know that they got married because Palin was already pregnant.

Such a good Christian girl.

3) Is Trig well cared for? And if so, by whom? (This one really concerns the teachers, therapists, and just everyday parents that come to my site.)

To this my source said that Trig does not, as far as she knows, receive any outside therapeutic treatment but that the nanny who cares for him is trained in something but she does not know what that something is. However she believes that this person is the source for any kind of "therapy" that Trig might receive.

(The nanny is the same person that also cared for Willow and Piper. I have her name but I am not going to share it here, because she deserves her privacy.)

Apparently Trig's main caregivers, besides the nanny, are Todd, Molly Sally, and Bristol.

My source also said that Palin herself spends very little time with Trig, and that he often hits her or acts out in anger, and she is incapable of handling him.

4) How close is Sarah to her extended family. (I think this refers to mostly Todd's family, which you and I have already discussed.)

To this she responded that Sarah is not at all close to most of Todd's side of the family, though she will be fake nice to them during the holidays.

I think this is a good place to explain a comment I left on another post where I suggested that the reason there were no family Christmas pictures on Palin's Facebook page was because they had celebrated Christmas at Todd's sister's house. Which is where Track used to live in Palmer apparently.

That led me to ask who the sister was and exactly how many siblings Todd has, because I was never clear on that.  They are in order of birth Kristy, Todd, JD, and of course Diana.

I also learned that virtually all of them have struggled with substance abuse, serious substance abuse, and that it is a family trait. So apparently Track and Bristol come by it honestly.

5) Does anybody in the family, besides Sarah, actually have a job outside or working for the Mama Grizzly? (There is a persistent story of Bristol working for a dermatologist, but she has taken so many extended leaves of absence that it does not seem like it is a real job.)

My source tells me that lat she heard Willow was working at a hair salon, Track is always unemployed (And back living at home now.), and Bristol has a weird arrangement with a Dr. Cusack in Anchorage at the Alaska Dermatology Laser and Skin Care Center.

According to my source Bristol really has no set hours, and only goes to the office occasionally when it suits her.

Her job is apparently just filing and answering the phones. She does no actual skin care even though she recently graduated from "skin school."

I asked my source why this guy would keep Bristol on the payroll through all of her reality show appearances and DWTS episodes. Her answer was that Cusack is "enraptured with Sarah."

That's kind of what I figured.

6) Do you know anything about Sarah's fling with Brad Hanson?

To this my source answered that all she knew was what everybody else knew, and had never heard anything said about it within the family.

However she did add that Sarah, and I quote, "got around in high school."

 7)  Does Sarah wear a wig or have hair extensions due to hair loss. (I joke about this all of the time, but if you know for certain that would very interesting.)

To this my source said that Palin has hair clips that she adds to give her hair more volume, and sometimes simply wears wig, but does not think that she is actually losing her hair.

She did add that it would not surprise her to learn that Sarah was losing her hair, due to her long term eating disorders.

8) And finally you said that you do not believe that Palin gave birth to Trig, why is that?

To this my source responded that there was a lot of secrecy around the pregnancy, and of course nobody knew about it in the family until the very end. (She also agreed that it would be virtually impossible to hide the pregnancy from Willow and Bristol for that long.)

She also said there was no baby shower which was weird because there had been one with all of the other kids. and that there was no time when anybody was allowed to touch Sarah's belly or felt the baby kick.

She mentioned that Palin was kind of MIA at the time and either out of town, or if home staying in her room and not talking to visitors. Therefore she did not see Palin very often around that time, and when she did see her she was dressed up with scarfs and a vest or jacket that hid her belly all of the time.

At this point I asked my source if she had a theory as to Trig's parentage and she said that she thinks it is very possible that Trig is Todd's child from another woman. Which if you think about it makes quite a lot of sense, and would explain Palin's strained relationship with the child.

(My source is confident she can ascertain more about this, but she has to proceed cautiously.)

During a follow up phone conversation I also learned a few other interesting tidbits:

• Before the brawl started that day in Anchorage Track was high as a kite and kept trying to start a fight with Todd, before he found another target for his aggression.
• Sarah really was a dedicated runner at one time and actually did run all of the time for exercise.
• Speaking of running, Sarah was also at one time seriously contemplating a run for John McCain's Senate seat. My source is not sure what derailed those plans, but of course it never happened. 
• This is not exactly news but the source also says that not only is Trig a prop, but that Sarah treats all of the kids as props or to shield herself from controversy. Like I said we know that but it is still interesting to hear from an eyewitness. 
• Told me that Blanche Kalstrom, Todd's mom, blamed one of Sarah's miscarriages to flying on a small plane and told her to never fly pregnant again. (I thought this was very interesting in light of the Wild Ride story.) 

There are still things that I cannot share due to my source's determination to remain anonymous for the time being, however she assures me that she is serious about coming out of the shadows sometime soon. All she is waiting for is a few legal loose ends to be tied up.

Until then I am continuing to talk with her and she is more than willing to answer questions, so if any of you have more ideas please let me know.

P.S. Photos and documents will be presented at some time in the future as well. Many of them never before seen.
