We all know the tragic stories of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy but surprisingly few know the story Rosemary Kennedy, the 'secret' Kennedy sister who seemed to have it all but was forced by her father to have a lobotomy and then was hidden away from the world.
Her mother, Rose was forced to delay giving birth to her with her nurse even pushing Rosemary's head back into her mothers birth canal. This action would have a profound effect on Rosemary's life. It stopped the new born from getting enough oxygen, causing damage to her brain.
This manifested in Rosemary being slower to walk, slower to talk and doing poorly in school. She was a happy and vibrant child but this wasn't enough for her father who demanded much of all his children.
