Lancashire / Re: single mothers home run by nuns
« on: Tuesday 19 June 18 13:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi suzy
I was also a mother who kept her baby despite the protests from the nuns and other agencies. I will never forget my time at st theresa' s. The nuns could be viscious and cruel at times and caring at others . But i always felt that I was a bad person in their eyes . But hey tomorrow 20th June  my son will celebrate his 40th birthday and life turned out so different than I thought as an unmarried mum all those years ago .

I was a young single mum 17 years old in 1978 and stayed at st theresa mother and baby home . For me my short time there was scary and harsh . As I was frowned upon for refusing to give my baby up for adoption which was expected of me .if it hadn't been for a caring midwife at st Mary's hospital who when i told her I didn't want to give my baby away gave me lots of advice and reassurance that despite what the nuns and adoption society said I didn't have to. Despite us all trying to behave normally it was a sad place . I still think of the mum's who felt they had no choice and often wonder how both their babies and themselves got on .
