    The family ghost

    Joe Kennedy and his wife Rose - had nine children/ Robert, John, Eunice, Jean, Joseph Jnr, Patricia, Kathleen and Rosemary. Rosemary was the third child in the family. When Rosemary was about to be born, the attending nurse did not want to deliver the baby without a doctor being present, so the nurse reached into the birth canal and held the baby in place while she waited for the doctor. This led to a lack of oxygen getting to the baby's brain which had devastating effects.

    Does anyone know what happened to poor little Rosemary? What happened to her when JFK became President?




    As a child, Rosemary was unable to keep up with her siblings, who would often play ball in the yard, or run around the neighborhood. Her lack of inclusion often caused “fits,” which were later discovered to be seizures or episodes relating to her mental illness.

    I know the story - but I did not know if anyone else on the site did. It is an interesting story -but so very sad when people put fame before family.

    True, but then it's not uncommon sadly. George V and Queen Mary did something similar with the epileptic Prince John.

    What a very sad story and it makes you wonder about such 'treatments' electric shock therapy being another very frightening area of medicine, thankfully long since gone.

    Hence, the present procedures now adopted by our own Royal Family.

    I met up with someone who was undergoing such treatment - scary? I t sounded horrific - and what is more - it did nothing to 'cure' anything!
