We found out
some of the bits I wanted to know, but some of it is not in the records.
It tells you what happened to mum and me but it doesn't tell you why. I
didn't know anything about mum because Aunt Edie always kept me apart from
the rest of them, and I never saw any of them till she died.
It's great what we've found out, but what I'd really love to find out is
why I was separated? Why did mum get put in hospital when she had a child
to look after? She probably would have stayed if she could. Why did they
separate us? OK, so mum was begging, well people still do that nowadays
but their children don't get put in care.
I'd love to know why. It's very unfair really. Mum didn't have any say in
it, and it's wrong. Why were we separated? Mum hadn't done a crime or anything.
If I'd known where mum had gone I would have gone looking, but it's taken
me over 50 years to get this far. And we asked just in time because my records
were just about to be thrown out. |
