Holly dear we are going to have some fine debates over toffee vodkas at Rond Point on the way back down to Chaudonne!
Your strap line is a great insult to Neville and June! Jeremy and Sheila were wanted and loved ..... even the murderer himself reminisces about is wonderful childhood on the farm in just about every blog he posts! They both had a very good education, money, homes bought for them, cars, work and both would have had a prosperous future assured had Jeremy not murdered all his immediate family! The only fault I would throw at N. and J. is they were too indulgent to the whims of both kids .... neither had to learn to stand on their own two feet.
That strap line is very unfair!
Have really enjoyed the 'One Love Manchester' concert this evening.
I'm currently out of action with a rotator cuff injury. Overdid the wing prevention prog aka lateral rises!
I don't believe my strap is unfair. According to CAL and Dr Ferguson June first suffered a mental breakdown during 1955 due to her inability to conceive birth children. Despite this fact June was approved suitable to adopt SC, born 1957, and formally adopted by the Bambers in 1958. According to Dr Ferguson June suffered a further breakdown during 1959 as a result of her decision to adopt. Despite these facts SC remained with the Bambers and they were approved to adopt JB in 1961. I think most modern day social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists etc would be aghast.
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I agree on the surface the Bambers appear ideal adopters, but were they? Were June's Christian beliefs, especially surrounding sexual morality, compatible with adopting new born babies in an era where adoption took place mainly due to the stigma attached to illegitimacy? If one finds sex outside the sanctity of marriage unacceptable, evidenced by June's desire for SC to have an abortion followed by marriage to CC, along with her willingness to buy JM a property to prevent her sleeping with JB at Goldhanger, is any of this conducive to forming healthy relationships with her adopted children? Who after all were the product of something June seemed to have a lot of antipathy for.
Did SC suffer an attachment disorder and find herself in a state of shame due to June's mental illness/religiosity?
