Hi Erin21,

The film "the Magdalene Sisters" is on Channel 4 tonight at 10.00 pm.

It is quite a harrowing picture, but worth watching to gain an insight into the thinking of the authorities at the times......as a Catholic I never understood the fixation that the Nuns had about sex......frustation??

I have family members and friends who are nuns and they are the most delightful and caring people.

Hi Erin,

Sorry, guilty of generalizing.....I should have said some nuns......did you watch the film?

I was reading this thread and it made me cry I spent a lot of my childhood and my early teens in the goodshepards convent in cork  and it was discusting what they were allowed to do to us. I have so many times wondered why? As a result of my upbringing I am determind to trace my roots. I also wonder what happened to a lot of the children that I grew up with. I have met up with some and others have died along the way but some children were shipped out never to be heard of again. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. ???

Love Anne

Ps. I watched the film before it was released and it was only the tip of the iceberg of what went on.
