Lets Stare Judgmentally With Mama

My great grandmother got pregnant when she was 15. This was in early twentieth century Canada. She was sent to a home for unmarried mothers to have the baby. I read her journal entry about it recently. She says that she didn’t realize it at the time, but she’s since come to understand that during the actual delivery, the doctor and the lady who ran the house didn’t give her all the support she needed, and it was absolutely intended as punishment for what she did. Even though the encounter that led to her pregnancy sounds dubiously consensual based on her journal.
