💨 Abstract

Maureen Sullivan survived severe childhood trauma, including sexual abuse by her stepfather and subsequent incarceration in Magdalene Laundries, notorious for harsh conditions and forced labor. At 12, Maureen's teacher noticed her distress, leading to her transfer to the Magdalene Laundry where she experienced cruelty and hard labor and remained until 16. In London, she faced depression and flashbacks but began therapy at 34, helping her rebuild her life.
