(23,720 posts)She was an unwed mother in the 1940's and she had been raped by her sisters husband. My great grandfather threw her out of the house. She got a job working nights and had the baby. One day while she was sleeping the baby wandered outside and the neighbors called the authorities. When she went to court thinking she was going to get her child back, she was tricked into signing papers giving her away. My mother found her years later after my grandmother has passed away.
All my life, my grandmother was a very sad person, I never knew why she was so melancholy and wished often to die. I met my aunt a couple of times. She looked almost exactly like my aunt Sharon who I loved very much. I never got close to my Aunt Janice (the child who was taken fro y grandmother), it bothered me that she so admired and loved the people who helped steal her away. y mother keep in contact with her though.
