Wonder how widespread the idea of going to an orphanage was, even if it was for a relatively short trip...? My Mom had to go to one in Denver in the early 30's...her parents had just gotten a (ohhhhhhhhh horrors in those years--a divorce) and her mother was going to seek work in the big city. She needed my Mom to be cared for....Mom was there for 3 months, and NEVER got over that experience. Fear of abandonment was one issue that must have taken hold then...She was a "paying customer" too, but that meant little to my little seemingly self assured girl who would someday be my Mom....She was brokenhearted.

I never realized, until we started working on family history, that that thick shell she surrounded herself with, was just protection from that experience.

The things we learn about ourselves, while helping others along the way.............
