My name is Mary. I was at the Goodwood Orphanage for some 13
years from the early 1950s to the early 1960s. I now live interstate. I have
undertaken psychotherapy since then, and my doctor reports that I am one of the
most traumatised patients she has had to deal with.
When I used to wet the bed I would be forced to stand with the wet sheet over my head while standing on the white line. I was then made to wash the sheet in cold water by hand, barely able to reach the tub. Then I would have to go and hang the sheet on the line. This started between the ages of 7-9.
