Bethesda Home for Girls
Anonymous:
Hi, I am looking for anyone who was at the Bethesda Home for girls during 1977 to 1880. I spent 2 years there, not by choice. I was there the first time when Beth, the girl who was hit by the train and had her leg cut off, was there. I was sent there at 15 and left right before my 18th birthday. I knew the Barnwells very well during those 2 years. I would be interested to hear anyone who was there at that time. I reccently found a copy of the "Family Altar" book on the homes for May of 1978 from my parents basement. There is a photo in there of the 5 girls that were in charge of all of us at that time. I am 44 years old now and am just now cruising the web to see if anyone else experienced what I did. We SOOOOO weren't aloud to talk to one another about how we really felt inside.
Thanks

hey anonymous,
there are a couple of groups on yahoo that are for bethesda girls. You might want to check those out.
I know about the feelings thing. We had a lot of weird rules at Rebekah, but I cried for a month when I first got in and no one made me feel bad about it. I think it's terrible that they didn't allow you to express what you felt. That's inhumane.
