Behind the facade of America’s most beloved political dynasty lurked a maternal monster – a compulsive shopper and possible anorexic who beat her children and took drugs that may have contributed to the mental health issues of her third child. The shocking truth about Rose Kennedy is laid bare in an explosive new book, “The Life and Times of a Political Matriarch”, which is based on newly released letters and diaries written by Rose herself. Author Barbara Perry quotes Rose admitting to striking her children and locking them away in dark closets when they became too much for her to handle. http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/kennedy-dynasty-matriarch-was-secret-mommy-dearest |

I think that what is happening here is that someone is grossly over exaggerating things which were common back in Rose Kennedy's era for a quick buck. She's long since gone and almost all her children are as well. |

I always got a super-crazy vibe from Rose. (And not just because she was a devout Roman Catholic.) |

The one thing I read about her many years ago that said volumes was a statement from one of her former live in nurses. On her first day on the job she had prepared lunch and Rose was sitting at the table waiting. She came in with a plate for Mrs. Kennedy and then went back and got a plate for herself and came out to the table. She sat down next to the old lady and Rose glared at her and asked what she was doing. When the nurse said "I made our lunch", Mrs. Kennedy replied "I don't eat with servants". The nurse left the table and ate alone in the kitchen. |

Also I read a biography of old Joseph Kennedy a few years back. His relationship with Rose was strictly business after she bore all the children he wanted. There was no more sex in their marriage and Rose was quite happy with that. Rose went to mass every day (obviously a freakin' loon), and Joseph philandered to his heart's content with Rose's full approval. There were instances where Rose actually lined up women for Joe. One of Joe's long term secretaries was someone Rose set him up with sexually. Joe was a pig of epic proportions. There was one instance in a restaurant when he was there with 2 obvious hookers. The maitre d' said Joe was sitting between them and it was obvious he was finger banging both of them under the table. But none of the staff had the balls to tell him to stop. |

It must have been a lot of pressure to keep up the front of respectability. |

I read that Joe also raped on of his daughters friends who spent the night. She said the most unnerving thing about the whole episode was that he offered her orange juice at breakfast the next morning as if nothing had happened. |

Since Joe and all his sons are generally believed to have been (very rich) tinymeats, Rose simply did what any intelligent woman (including ourself) would do - be grateful to be spared the (always unpleasant) tinymeat encounters and just enjoy the money!!!!! ALso, daily Mass is something we would do if we were able. Edited by Erna, Jul 28 2013, 04:37 AM.

You're in Spain! There are no less than 5 major cathedrals there, no to mention all the smaller Catholic churches. If you wished you should be able to attend mass at least 3 times each way every day when you do your marketing. |

You are correct,Tybee, but the truth is that we are just too lazy! We did attend Holy Mass in the Cathedral a couple of months ago but only because it happened to be taking place at the same time we were in the vicinity and decided to stroll in, Saturday about 5pm. It was a very good exeperience. |

The Blessed Virgin, Holy Mother of God and Queen of the Universe, etc., etc., must have been so terribly flattered. |
