There are three nuns here and they are so wonderful to me. That I can't believe I am so happy. Mother Adrian, Sister Peter, Sister Muir.
I worked with Sister Muir first, then Sister Joseph Kevin, then I worked by myself for a while, the nuns then got another lady from Sunnyside hospital to help me, who would come out for the day then go back in the evening, she did not work on the weekend, she had a son living at St. Josephs after she left another girl came from Nazareth House and Sister Lucila was good to her. Margaret Hall.
I was by myself for a long time cooking for about 40 to 50 boys and 7nuns as well as the 20 to 30 babies. The Boys would come and help me with the dishes after dinner and tea. Sister Lucila came between the 1963 to 1965 and she put me down so much and say the most horrible things to me, like I was no good, that I could not do anything.
She would say this to me every day and all the time. I was in my 20s and I was so hurt about it that I went to Mother Adrian to change my job and that was when I started to do the toilets, beds and helped Sister Peter, this was when I told Sister Peter about Nazareth House but nothing was done about it, so I felt that she did not believe me. She was ok to me.
I could not understand why Sister Lucila was so cruel to me after all I had done everything in the kitchen by myself before she came to work with me. even then I could not stand up for myself against the nuns, they were still right. But now I feel worst because I could not do anything to defend myself. I could not talk back to the nuns/priest.
