Mom was not a Catholic, dad was. It was scandalous that she was on the pill when we moved to dad's hometown in around 1968-69. I still am not sure how the word got out but there was actually graffiti in a bathroom stall that said "Angie's mom is on the pill". I suppose it was a horrible insult in Catholicland.
As time went on birth control became something we didn't talk about. At the age of about 17 one of the doctors in town put me on the pill and here was his reason - I know what your dad will do to you if you get pregnant.
