The curse of having any medical abnormality at that time was being seen as a "freak". It wasn't until very recently that we came to understand how really wrong that was.
I so agree, David. And I think there are still people who don't understand that. Lots of powerful men calling Greta Thunberg a "freak" because she's autistic.
Oh, this is so sad. Second sad story (Titanic one) I've read today. Real life sure ain't for sissies, to play with Bette Davis's famous quote on old age.
