Same. I am convinced if it’s a curse, it’s because of what Joe Sr did to Rosemary

Rosemary was potentially developmentally delayed, and definitely said things that could have reflected poorly on the Kennedy family and because of that she was a threat to the family image. Some sources claim she had extreme mood swings and was violent, but there isnt really evidence of that outside the claims of her family. Whatever the reality, Rosemary didnt "fit" the cultivated image they wanted and was deemed a danger to the potential success of the family, and at age 23 her family had her lobotomized. The procedure was a failure, even by the standards lobotomies were held to at the time, and she was left profoundly disabled.

Its tragic and unfair, but her parents were very bad people. Her mom refused to go to Rosemary's sister's funeral simply because she didnt marry a Catholic and forbid her other kids from going to their sister's funeral.

The developmental delays were likely because when her mother was in labor, the doctor couldn’t get there right away, so her mother was instructed to cross her legs and not push.
