Labeled "bastard"

Labeled 'bastard" because of misinformation, Society's prejudice has become an abomination, Families exist in different ways and forms, Who is to say, what is the norm? Shallow people shun the non-traditional, assuming that a child born out of wedlock is criminal, These are the same folks that pretend to serve God, Yet, they don't find their biased behavior odd, Labeling anyone a "bastard" without knowing the facts, reflects poorly on the rumour mills who are downright indecent and "slack".

My Mother mentioned that she wasn't allowed into my Grandmothers house until she'd been Churched? after giving birth to me !and she was married! I feel very sad about all this you're writing about it's like going back into the Dark Ages.I don't have any truck now at all with any type religion!

Bravo, Margaret. Well said! I agree with every word. Children should never be labeled this way and those who apply these labels truly are shallow -- pseudochristians. Love, Carolyn
